11Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the LORD, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.H5971H596H7451H241H3068H3068H8085H639H2734H784H3068H1197H398H7097H42642When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the LORD and the fire died down.H5971H6817H4872H4872H6419H3068H784H82573So that place was called Taberah, because fire from the LORD had burned among them.H7121H8034H1931H4725H8404H784H3068H11974The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, "If only we had meat to eat!H628H7130H183H8378H1121H3478H1058H7725H559H1320H3985We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.H2142H1710H398H4714H2600H7180H20H2682H1211H77626But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!"H5315H3002H1115H4478H58697The manna was like coriander seed and looked like resin.H4478H1407H2233H5869H5869H9168The people went around gathering it, and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil.H5971H7751H3950H2912H7347H1743H4085H1310H6517H6213H5692H2940H2940H3955H80819When the dew settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.H2919H3381H4264H3915H4478H338110Moses heard the people of every family wailing at the entrance to their tents. The LORD became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled.H4872H8085H5971H1058H4940H376H6607H168H639H3068H2734H3966H4872H7489H586911He asked the LORD, "Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?H4872H559H3068H7489H5650H4672H2580H5869H7760H4853H597112Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors?H2029H5971H3205H559H5375H2436H539H5375H3243H127H7650H113Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, 'Give us meat to eat!'H370H1320H5414H5971H1058H559H5414H1320H39814I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.H3201H5375H5971H905H351515If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin."H6213H2026H2026H4672H2580H5869H7200H745116The LORD said to Moses: "Bring me seventy of Israel's elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. Have them come to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you.H3068H559H4872H622H7657H376H2205H3478H3045H2205H5971H7860H3947H168H4150H332017I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.H3381H1696H680H7307H7760H5375H4853H5971H537518"Tell the people: 'Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The LORD heard you when you wailed, "If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!" Now the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat it.H559H5971H6942H4279H398H1320H1058H241H3068H559H1320H398H2895H4714H3068H5414H1320H39819You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days,H398H259H3117H3117H2568H3117H6235H3117H6242H311720but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, "Why did we ever leave Egypt?" ' "H2320H3117H3318H639H2214H3282H3988H3068H7130H1058H6440H559H3318H471421But Moses said, "Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!'H4872H559H5971H7130H8337H3967H505H7273H559H5414H1320H398H3117H232022Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?"H6629H1241H7819H4672H1709H3220H622H467223The LORD answered Moses, "Is the LORD's arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you."H3068H559H4872H3068H3027H7114H7200H1697H713624So Moses went out and told the people what the LORD had said. He brought together seventy of their elders and had them stand around the tent.H4872H3318H1696H5971H1697H3068H622H7657H376H2205H5971H5975H5439H16825Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke with him, and he took some of the power of the Spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied—but did not do so again.H3068H3381H6051H1696H680H7307H5414H7657H2205H376H7307H5117H5012H325426However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them, and they prophesied in the camp.H7604H8147H582H4264H8034H259H419H8034H8145H4312H7307H5117H3789H3318H168H5012H426427A young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."H7323H5288H5046H4872H559H419H4312H5012H426428Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses' aide since youth, spoke up and said, "Moses, my lord, stop them!"H3091H1121H5126H8334H4872H979H6030H559H113H4872H360729But Moses replied, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!"H4872H559H7065H5414H3068H5971H5030H3068H5414H730730Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.H4872H622H4264H2205H347831Now a wind went out from the LORD and drove quail in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits deep all around the camp, as far as a day's walk in any direction.H5265H7307H3068H1468H7958H3220H5203H4264H3117H1870H3541H3117H1870H3541H5439H4264H520H6440H77632All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers. Then they spread them out all around the camp.H5971H6965H3117H3915H4283H3117H622H7958H4591H622H6235H2563H7849H7849H5439H426433But while the meat was still between their teeth and before it could be consumed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.H1320H2962H8127H3772H639H3068H2734H5971H3068H5221H5971H3966H7227H434734Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.H7121H8034H4725H6914H6912H5971H18335From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth and stayed there.H5971H5265H6914H2698H2698
