drb @Numbers:11:1 @In the mean time there arose a murmuring of the people against the Lord , as it were repining at their fatigue . And when the Lord heard it he was angry . And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them , devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp . drb @Numbers:11:2 @And when the people cried to Moses , Moses prayed to the Lord , and the fire was swallowed up . drb @Numbers:11:3 @And he called the name of that place , The burning : for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them . drb @Numbers:11:4 @For a mixt multitude of people , that came up with them , burned with desire , sitting and weeping , the children of Israel also being joined with them , and said : Who shall give us flesh to eat ? drb @Numbers:11:5 @We remember the Ash that we ate in Egypt free cost : the cucumbers come into our mind , and the melons , and the leeks , and the onions , and the garlic . drb @Numbers:11:6 @Our soul is dry , our eyes behold nothing else but manna . drb @Numbers:11:7 @A Now the manna was like coriander seed , of the colour of bdellium . drb @Numbers:11:8 @And the people went about , and gathering it , ground it in a mill , or beat it in a mortar , and boiled it in a pot , and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil . drb @Numbers:11:9 @and when the dew fell in the night upon the camp , the manna also fell with it . drb @Numbers:11:10 @Now Moses heard the people weeping by their families , every one at the door of his tent . And the wrath of the Lord was exceedingly enkindled : to Moses also the thing seemed insupportable . drb @Numbers:11:11 @And he said to the Lord : Why hast thou afflicted thy servant ? wherefore do I not find favour before thee ? and why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon me ? drb @Numbers:11:12 @Have I conceived all this multitude , or begotten them , that thou shouldst say to me : Carry them in thy bosom as the nurse is wont to carry the little infant , and bear them into the land , for which thou hast sworn to their fathers ? drb @Numbers:11:13 @Whence should I have flesh to give to so great a multitude ? they weep against me , saying : Give us flesh that we may eat . drb @Numbers:11:14 @I am not able alone to bear all this people , because it is too heavy for me . drb @Numbers:11:15 @But if it seem unto thee otherwise , I beseech thee to kill me , and let me find grace in thy eyes , that I be not afflicted with so great evils . drb @Numbers:11:16 @And the Lord said to Moses : Gather unto me seventy men of the ancients of Israel , whom thou knowest to be ancients and masters of the people : and thou shalt bring them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant , and shalt make them stand there with thee , drb @Numbers:11:17 @That I may come down and speak with thee : and I will take of thy spirit , and will give to them , that they may bear with thee the burden of the people , and thou mayest not be burthened alone . drb @Numbers:11:18 @And thou shalt say to the people : Be ye sanctified : to morrow you shall eat flesh : for I have heard you say : Who will give us flesh to eat ? it was well with us in Egypt . That the Lord may give you flesh , and you may eat : drb @Numbers:11:19 @Not for one day , nor two , nor five , nor ten , no nor for twenty . drb @Numbers:11:20 @But even for a month of days , till it come out at your nostrils , and become loathsome to you , because you have cast off the Lord , who is in the midst of you , and have wept before him , saying : Why came we out of Egypt ? drb @Numbers:11:21 @And Moses said : There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people , and sayest thou : I will give them flesh to eat a whole month ? drb @Numbers:11:22 @Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed , that it may suffice for their food ? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them ? drb @Numbers:11:23 @And the Lord answered him : Is the hand of the Lord unable ? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no . drb @Numbers:11:24 @Moses therefore came , and told the people the words of the Lord , and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel , and made them to stand about the tabernacle . drb @Numbers:11:25 @And the Lord came down in a cloud , and spoke to him , taking away of the spirit that was in Moses , and giving to the seventy men . And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied , nor did they cease afterwards . drb @Numbers:11:26 @Now there remained in the camp two of the men , of whom one was called Eldad , and the other Medad , upon whom the spirit rested ; for they also had been enrolled , but were not gone forth to the tabernacle . drb @Numbers:11:27 @And when they prophesied in the camp , there ran a young man , and told Moses , saying : Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp . drb @Numbers:11:28 @Forthwith Josue the son of Nun , the minister of Moses , and chosen out of many , said : My lord Moses forbid them . drb @Numbers:11:29 @But he said : Why hast thou emulation for me ? O that all the people might prophesy , and that the Lord would give them his spirit ! drb @Numbers:11:30 @And Moses returned , with the ancients of Israel , into the camp . drb @Numbers:11:31 @And a wind going out from the Lord , taking quails up beyond the sea brought them , and cast them into the camp for the space of one day 's journey , on every side of the camp round about , and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground . drb @Numbers:11:32 @The people therefore rising up all that day , and night , and the next day , gathered together of quails , he that did least , ten cores : and they dried them round about the camp . drb @Numbers:11:33 @As yet the flesh was between their teeth , neither had that kind of meat failed : when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people , struck them with an exceeding great plague . drb @Numbers:11:34 @And that place was called , The graves of lust : for there they buried the people that had lusted . And departing from the graves of lust , they came unto Haseroth , and abode there .
