Numbers:11:13-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
