* Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people ? for they weep unto me , saying , Give us flesh , that we may eat . * I am not able to bear all this people alone , because it is too heavy for me . * 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 . * And the LORD said unto Moses , Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel Yisra #el #, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people , and officers over them ; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation mow #ed #, that they may stand there with thee . * 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 . * 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 . * Ye shall not eat one day , nor two days , nor five days , neither ten days , nor twenty days ; * But even a whole month chodesh #, 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 ? * 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 . * 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 ? * And the LORD said unto Moses , Is the LORDS hand waxed short ? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not .
