But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

Verse 6 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.

Nun aber ist unsere Seele matt; denn unsere Augen sehen nichts als das Man.
Y ahora nuestra alma se seca; que nada sino maná ven nuestros ojos.
Pero ahora se nos seca el alma; no hay nada más: nuestros ojos solo ven maná».
Maintenant, notre âme est desséchée: plus rien! Nos yeux ne voient que de la manne.
Laddove ora l’anima nostra è arida; e non abbiam nulla; noi non possiamo volger gli occhi sopra altro che sopra la Manna.
Mas agora a nossa alma se seca; coisa nenhuma há senão este maná diante dos nossos olhos.
現在我們的精力枯乾了。除了這嗎哪以外,在我們眼前甚麼都沒有。」
