Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their dwellings.
So they ate and were well filled, And their desire He gave to them.
Before they had satisfied their desire, While their food was in their mouths,
The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.

He made them come down inside their camp, all around their tents.
They ate till they had more than enough, for he had given them what they craved.
But before they turned from the food they craved, even while it was still in their mouths,
God's anger rose against them; he put to death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men of Israel.
