And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

Verse 8 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.

Und das Volk lief hin und her und sammelte und zerrieb es mit Mühlen und stieß es in Mörsern und kochte es in Töpfen und machte sich Aschenkuchen daraus; und es hatte einen Geschmack wie ein Ölkuchen.
Derrámabase el pueblo, y recogían, y molían en molinos, o majaban en morteros, y lo cocían en caldera, o hacían de él tortas: y su sabor era como sabor de aceite nuevo.
El pueblo recorría el lugar para recogerlo; lo molían en molinos o lo machacaban en un mortero, lo cocían en una olla y hacían tortas con él. Su sabor era como el del aceite fresco.
Le peuple se dispersait pour la ramasser; il la broyait avec des meules, ou la pilait dans un mortier; il la cuisait au pot, et en faisait des gâteaux. Elle avait le goût d'un gâteau à l'huile.
E il popolo si spandeva, e la raccoglieva; poi la macinava con le macine, o la pestava nel mortaio; e la coceva in pentole, o ne facea delle focaccie; e il sapore di essa era come il sapor di pastello oliato.
Espalhava-se o povo e o colhia, e em moinhos o moía, ou num gral o pisava, e em panelas o cozia, e dele fazia bolos; e o seu sabor era como o sabor de azeite fresco.
百姓四處走動撿取嗎哪,把它用磨磨碎或用臼搗成粉,在鍋中煮了做成餅,滋味好像油烤餅的滋味。
