Book 04 Numbers Chapter 011

 

011:001And 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.

 

011:002And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
the LORD, the fire was quenched.

 

011:003And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire
of the LORD burnt among them.

 

011:004And the mixt 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?

 

011:005We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the
cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and
the garlick:

 

011:006But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all,
beside this manna, before our eyes.

 

011:007And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as
the colour of bdellium.

 

011:008And 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.

 

011:009And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it.

 

011:010Then 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.

 

011:011And 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?

 

011:012Have 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?

 

011:013Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for
they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

 

011:014I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too
heavy for me.

 

011:015And 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.

 

011:016And 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.

 

011:017And 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.

 

011:018And 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.

 

011:019Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither
ten days, nor twenty days;

 

011:020But 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?

 

011:021And 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.

 

011:022Shall 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?

 

011:023And 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.

 

011:024And 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.

 

011:025And 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.

 

011:026But 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.

 

011:027And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and
Medad do prophesy in the camp.

 

011:028And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his
young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

 

011:029And 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!

 

011:030And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

 

011:031And 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.

 

011:032And 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.

 

011:033And 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.

 

011:034And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because
there they buried the people that lusted.

 

011:035And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;
and abode at Hazeroth.
