Num. 11:4‑9,18‑20• 4And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?
 5We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
 6and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes.
 7And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.
 8The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with hand-mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of oil-cakes.
 9And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna fell upon it.
 18And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
 19Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
 20but for a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? (Num. 11:4‑9,18‑20)
;
Num. 21:5• 5and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread. (Num. 21:5)

Luke 15:16‑17• 16And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.
 17And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have abundance of bread, and *I* perish here by famine. (Luke 15:16‑17)

John 6:9• 9There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many? (John 6:9)
• The verse has been paraphrased as follows: “The pampered glutton loathes even luxurious food; but he who is really hungry, will eat even indifferent food with a high relish.” It is need that gives appetite and enjoyment for what would otherwise be despised. To many, the word of God is one of these bitter things; but when the soul is hungry it becomes sweet as honey. See the little books eaten by Ezekiel and John (Ezek. 3:1-4; Rev. 10:9, 10). (“Proverbs Twenty-Seven” by H.A. Ironside)
