ગુજરાતીનિર્ગમન ૧૬:૩
ઇઝરાયલીઓએ મૂસા અને હારુનને કહ્યું, “જ્યારે અમે માંસથી ભરેલાં વાસણ પાસે બેસીને ધરાતાં સુધી ખાતા હતા, ત્યારે જ જો યહોવાહે પોતાને હાથે અમને મિસરમાં મારી નાખ્યા હોત તો સારું થાત. એવું થયું હોત તો આ અરણ્યમાં અમને બધાને ભૂખે મરવાનો વારો આવ્યો હોત નહિ.”
हिन्दीनिर्गमन १६:३
और इस्राएली उनसे कहने लगे, “जब हम मिस्र देश में माँस की हाँड़ियों के पास बैठकर मनमाना भोजन खाते थे, तब यदि हम यहोवा के हाथ से मार डाले भी जाते तो उत्तम वही था; पर तुम हमको इस जंगल में इसलिए निकाल ले आए हो कि इस सारे समाज को भूखा मार डालो।”
