* And the people were as murmurers , [speaking ] evil in the ears of LORD . And when LORD heard it , his anger was kindled , and the fire of LORD burnt among them , and devoured in the outermost part of the camp . * And the people cried to Moses . And Moses prayed to LORD , and the fire abated . * And the name of that place was called Taberah , because the fire of LORD burnt among them . * And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly . And the sons of Israel also wept again , and said , Who shall give us flesh to eat ? * We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing , the cucumbers , and the melons , and the leeks , and the onions , and the garlic , * but now our soul is dried away . There is nothing at all except this manna to look upon . * And the manna was like coriander seed , and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium . * The people went about , and gathered it , and ground it in mills , or beat it in mortars , and boiled it in pots , and made cakes of it . And the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil . * And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night , the manna fell upon it . * And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families , every man at the door of his tent . And the anger of LORD was kindled greatly , and Moses was displeased . * And Moses said to LORD , Why have thou dealt ill with thy servant ? And why have I not found favor in thy sight , that thou lay the burden of all this people upon me ? * Have I conceived all this people ? Have I brought them forth , that thou should say to me , Carry them in thy bosom , as a nursing-father carries the sucking child , to the land which thou swore to their fathers ? * From where should I have flesh to give to all this people ? For they weep to 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 favor in thy sight , and let me not see my wretchedness . * And LORD said to Moses , Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel , whom thou know to be the elders of the people , and officers over them . And bring them to the tent of meeting , that they may stand there with thee . * And I will come down and talk with thee there . And I will take from 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 not bear it thyself alone . * And say thou to the people , Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow , and ye shall eat flesh , for ye have wept in the ears of LORD , saying , Who shall give us flesh to eat ? For it was well with us in Egypt . Therefore LORD will give you * Ye shall not eat one day , nor two days , nor five days , neither ten days , nor twenty days , * but a whole month , until it comes out at your nostrils , and it be loathsome to you , because ye have rejected LORD who is among you , and have wept before him , saying , Why did we come forth out of Egypt ? * And Moses said , The people , among whom I am , are six hundred thousand footmen , and thou have said , I will give them flesh , that they may eat a whole month . * Shall flocks and 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 LORD said to Moses , Is LORD 's hand grown short ? Now thou shall see whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not . * And Moses went out , and told the people the words of LORD . And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people , and set them round about the tent . * And LORD came down in the cloud , and spoke to him , and took from the Spirit that was upon him , and put it upon the seventy elders . And it came to pass , that , when the Spirit rested upon them , they prophesied , but they did so no mor * But there remained two 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 those who were written , but had not gone out to the tent . And they prophesied * And a young man ran , and told Moses , and said , Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp . * And Joshua the son of Nun , the minister of Moses , one of his chosen men , answered and said , My lord Moses , forbid them . * And Moses said to him , Are thou jealous for my sake ? Would that all of LORD 's people were prophets , that LORD would put his Spirit upon them ! * And Moses went into the camp , he and the elders of Israel . * And there went forth a wind from LORD , and brought quails from the sea , and let them fall by the camp , about a day 's journey on this side , and a day 's journey on the other side , round about the camp , and about two cubits above the * And the people rose up all that day , and all the night , and all the next day , and gathered the quails . He who gathered least gathered ten homers . And they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp . * While the flesh was yet between their teeth , before it was chewed , the anger of LORD was kindled against the people , and LORD smote the people with a very great plague . * And the name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah , because there they buried the people who lusted . * From Kibrothhattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth , and they abode at Hazeroth .
