²⁸ God made the birds fall near the tents
    where his people were living.
²⁹ They ate as much as they could eat.
    Yes, God gave them what they had demanded!
^30-31 But God became very angry with them,
    even before they had finished eating.
While the food was still in their mouths,
    he killed the strongest men among them.
Many of the best young Israelite men died.
