The People Demand Food

16 The whole ·Israelite community [^Lcongregation/assembly of the sons/^Tchildren of Israel] left Elim and came to the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Sin, which was between Elim and Sinai; they arrived there on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left Egypt. ² Then the whole ·Israelite community [congregation; ^Lassembly of the sons/^Tchildren of Israel] ·grumbled [complained] to Moses and Aaron in the ·desert [wilderness]. ³ ·They [^LThe sons/^Tchildren of Israel] said to them, “It would have been better if the [^Lhand of the] Lord had killed us in the land of Egypt. There we ·had meat to eat and [^Lsat by the fleshpots and ate] all the ·food [bread] we wanted. But you have brought us into this ·desert [wilderness] to starve ·us [^Lall this assembly/crowd] to death.”
