NU-11:1 And [when] the people complained, it displeased the
LORD: and the
LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the
LORD burnt
among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts
of the camp.
NU-11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed
unto the LORD,
the fire was quenched.
NU-11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because
the fire of the
LORD burnt among them.
NU-11:4 And the mixed multitude that [was] among them fell a
lusting: and the
children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us
flesh to eat?
NU-11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely;
the
cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and
the garlic:
NU-11:6 But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is] nothing at
all, beside
this manna, [before] our eyes.
NU-11:7 And the manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour
thereof as the
colour of bdellium.
NU-11:8 [And] the people went about, and gathered [it], and
ground [it] in
mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it] in pans, and
made cakes of it:
and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
NU-11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the
manna fell upon
it.
NU-11:10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their
families, every
man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was
kindled greatly;
Moses also was displeased.
NU-11:11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou
afflicted thy
servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight,
that thou layest
the burden of all this people upon me?
NU-11:12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them,
that thou
shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing
father beareth
the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their
fathers?
NU-11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this
people? for they
weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
NU-11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because
[it is] too
heavy for me.
NU-11:15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee,
out of hand, if
I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my
wretchedness.
NU-11:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy
men of the
elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the
people, and
officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the
congregation,
that they may stand there with thee.
NU-11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I
will take of
the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them;
and they shall
bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear [it] not
thyself
alone.
NU-11:18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves
against to morrow,
and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD,
saying, Who
shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt:
therefore the
LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
NU-11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days,
neither ten
days, nor twenty days;
NU-11:20 [But] even a whole month, until it come out at your
nostrils, and it
be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD
which [is] among
you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of
Egypt?
NU-11:21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I [am], [are]
six hundred
thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh,
that they may
eat a whole month.
NU-11:22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to
suffice them?
or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them,
to suffice
them?
NU-11:23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed
short? thou
shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or
not.
NU-11:24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of
the LORD, and
gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set
them round about
the tabernacle.
NU-11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him,
and took of
the spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] unto the seventy
elders: and it
came to pass, [that], when the spirit rested upon them, they
prophesied, and
did not cease.
NU-11:26 But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the
name of the one
[was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit
rested upon them;
and they [were] of them that were written, but went not out unto
the
tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
NU-11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said,
Eldad and Medad
do prophesy in the camp.
NU-11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one]
of his young
men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
NU-11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake?
would God that
all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would
put his spirit
upon them!
NU-11:30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of
Israel.
NU-11:31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought
quails from
the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were a day's
journey on this
side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round
about the camp,
and as it were two cubits [high] upon the face of the earth.
NU-11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all [that]
night, and all
the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered
least gathered
ten homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves
round about the
camp.
NU-11:33 And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, ere
it was
chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people,
and the LORD
smote the people with a very great plague.
NU-11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah:
because there
they buried the people that lusted.
NU-11:35 [And] the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto
Hazeroth; and
abode at Hazeroth.
