* And when the people complained , it displeased ra # 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 . * And the people cried unto Moses ; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD , the fire was quenched . * And he called the name of the place Taberah Tab #erah #: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them . * And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting # ta #avah #: and the children of Israel also wept again , and said , Who shall give us flesh to eat ? * We remember the fish , which we did eat in Egypt freely ; the cucumbers , and the melons , and the leeks , and the onions , and the garlick : * But now our soul is dried away : there is nothing at all , beside this manna , before our eyes . * And the manna was as coriander seed , and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium . * 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 . * And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night , the manna fell upon it . * 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 m @#od #; Moses also was displeased ra #. * 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 ? * 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 ? * 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 . * 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 . * 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 zaqen #: and it came to pass , that , when the spirit rested upon them , they prophesied , and did not cease . * 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 . * And there ran a young man na #ar #, and told Moses , and said , Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp . * And Joshua the son of Nun , the servant of Moses , one of his young men , answered and said , My lord Moses , forbid them . * And Moses said unto him , Enviest thou for my sake ? would God that all the LORDS people were prophets , and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them ! * And Moses gat him into the camp , he and the elders of Israel Yisra #el #. * 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 days journey on this side , and as it were a days journey on the other side , round about the camp , and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth . * 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 . * 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 . * And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah Qibrowth hat-Ta #a-vah #: because there they buried the people that lusted . * And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah Qibrowth hat-Ta #a-vah # unto Hazeroth ; and abode at Hazeroth .
