We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

Verse 5 is found in chapter 11 of Numbers. The people complain and God’s fire consumes part of the camp. Soon afterward, the multitude expresses nostalgia for the food of Egypt and contempt for the manna. Moses becomes deeply burdened by the responsibility of leading the people and presents his exhaustion before God. The section connects collective complaining with the leadership crisis and with a distorted understanding of the Egyptian past.

Wir gedenken der Fische, die wir in Ägypten umsonst aßen, und der Kürbisse, der Melonen, des Lauchs, der Zwiebeln und des Knoblauchs.
Nos acordamos del pescado que comíamos en Egipto de balde, de los cohombros, y de los melones, y de los puerros, y de las cebollas, y de los ajos:
Recordamos el pescado que comíamos gratis en Egipto, los pepinos, los melones, los puerros, las cebollas y los ajos.
Nous nous souvenons des poissons que nous mangions en Egypte, et qui ne nous coûtaient rien, des concombres, des melons, des poireaux, des oignons et des aulx.
E’ ci ricorda nel pesce che noi mangiavamo in Egitto per nulla, de’ cocomeri, de’ poponi, de’ porri, delle cipolle, e degli agli.
Lembramo-nos dos peixes que no Egito comíamos de graça; e dos pepinos, e dos melões, e dos porros, e das cebolas, e dos alhos.
我們記得在 埃及 的時候,不花錢就可以吃魚,還有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥、蒜。
