*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel ,
whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people ,
and officers over them ;
and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation ,
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 ,
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 LORD '
S 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 :
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 ,
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 LORD '
S 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 .
