Numbers 11

1And the peopleH5971 wereH1961 as murmurers, speaking evilH7451 in the earsH241 of Jehovah: and when Jehovah heardH8085 it, his angerH639 wasH1961 kindled; and the fireH784 of Jehovah burnt among them, and devouredH398 in the uttermost part of the campH4264. 2And the peopleH5971 criedH6817 unto MosesH4872; and MosesH4872 prayedH6419 unto Jehovah, and the fireH784 abated. 3And the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 TaberahH8404, because the fireH784 of Jehovah burnt among them.

4And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of IsraelH3478 alsoH1571 weptH1058 again, and saidH559, Who shall give us fleshH1320 to eatH398? 5We rememberH2142 the fishH1710, which we did eatH398 in EgyptH4714 for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 6but nowH6258 our soulH5315 is driedH3002 away; there is nothingH369 at all save this mannaH4478 to look upon. 7And the mannaH4478 was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, and the appearanceH5869 thereof as the appearanceH5869 of bdelliumH916. 8The peopleH5971 went about, and gatheredH3950 it, and groundH2912 it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiledH1310 it in pots, and madeH6213 cakesH5692 of it: and the tasteH2940 of it wasH1961 as the tasteH2940 of fresh oilH8081. 9And when the dewH2919 fell upon the campH4264 in the nightH3915, the mannaH4478 fell upon it.

10And MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 weepingH1058 throughout their familiesH4940, every manH376 at the doorH6607 of his tentH168: and the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled greatly; and MosesH4872 was displeased. 11And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto Jehovah, Wherefore hast thou dealt ill with thy servantH5650? and wherefore have I not foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, that thou layest the burdenH4853 of all this peopleH5971 upon me? 12Have I conceivedH2029 all this peopleH5971? have I broughtH3205 them forthH3205, that thou shouldest sayH559 unto me, CarryH5375 them in thy bosomH2436, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking childH3205, unto the landH127 which thou swarest unto their fathersH1? 13Whence should I have fleshH1320 to giveH5414 unto all this peopleH5971? for they weepH1058 unto me, sayingH559, GiveH5414 us fleshH1320, that we may eatH398. 14I am not ableH3201 to bearH5375 all this peopleH5971 aloneH905, because it is too heavyH3515 for me. 15And if thou deal thusH3602 with me, killH2026 me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight; and let me not seeH7200 my wretchedness.

16And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, GatherH622 unto me seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, whom thou knowest to be the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and officersH7860 over them; and bring them unto the tentH168 of meetingH4150, that they may standH3320 there with thee. 17And I will comeH3381 downH3381 and talk with thee there: and I will takeH5375 of the SpiritH7307 which is upon thee, and will putH7760 it upon them; and they shall bearH5375 the burdenH4853 of the peopleH5971 with thee, that thou bearH5375 it not thyself aloneH905. 18And sayH559 thou unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320; for ye have weptH1058 in the earsH241 of Jehovah, sayingH559, Who shall giveH5414 us fleshH1320 to eatH398? for it was wellH2895 with us in EgyptH4714: therefore Jehovah will giveH5414 you fleshH1320, and ye shall eatH398. 19Ye shall not eatH398 oneH259 dayH3117, nor two daysH3117, nor fiveH2568 daysH3117, neither tenH6235 daysH3117, nor twentyH6242 daysH3117, 20but a whole monthH2320, until it come out at your nostrilsH639, and it beH1961 loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejectedH3988 Jehovah who is among you, and have weptH1058 before him, sayingH559, WhyH4100 came we forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714? 21And MosesH4872 saidH559, The peopleH5971, among whom I am, are sixH8337 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmen; and thou hast saidH559, I will giveH5414 them fleshH1320, that they may eatH398 a whole monthH2320. 22Shall flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 be gatheredH622 together for them, to suffice them? 23And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Is Jehovah’s handH3027 waxed short? nowH6258 shalt thou seeH7200 whether my wordH1697 shall come to pass unto thee or not.

24And MosesH4872 wentH3318 out, and told the peopleH5971 the wordsH1697 of Jehovah: and he gatheredH622 seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and setH5975 them roundH5439 about the TentH168. 25And Jehovah came downH3381 in the cloudH6051, and spake unto him, and took of the SpiritH7307 that wasH1961 upon him, and putH5414 it upon the seventyH7657 eldersH2205: and it came to pass, that, when the SpiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them, they prophesiedH5012, but they did so no moreH4480.

26But there remainedH7604 twoH8147 menH376 in the campH4264, the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was EldadH419, and the nameH8034 of the other MedadH4312: and the SpiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them; and they were of them that were writtenH3789, but had not goneH3318 out unto the TentH168; and they prophesiedH5012 in the campH4264. 27And there ranH7323 a youngH5288 manH5288, and toldH5046 MosesH4872, and saidH559, EldadH419 and MedadH4312 do prophesyH5012 in the campH4264. 28And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the minister of MosesH4872, one of his chosen men, answered and saidH559, My lordH113 MosesH4872, forbid them. 29And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto him, Art thou jealousH7065 for my sake? would that all Jehovah’s peopleH5971 were prophetsH5030, that Jehovah would putH5414 his SpiritH7307 upon them! 30And MosesH4872 gat him into the campH4264, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.

31And there went forth a windH7307 from Jehovah, and brought quailsH7958 from the seaH3220, and let them fall by the campH4264, about a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 on this side, and a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 on the other side, roundH5439 about the campH4264, and about two cubitsH520 above the faceH6440 of the earthH776. 32And the peopleH5971 roseH6965 up all that dayH3117, and all the nightH3915, and all the nextH4283 dayH3117, and gatheredH622 the quailsH7958: he that gatheredH622 least gatheredH622 tenH6235 homersH2563: and they spreadH7849 them all abroad for themselves roundH5439 about the campH4264. 33While the fleshH1320 was yetH5750 between their teethH8127, ere it was chewed, the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled against the peopleH5971, and Jehovah smote the peopleH5971 with a veryH3966 great plagueH4347. 34And the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 Kibroth-hattaavahH6914, because there they buriedH6912 the peopleH5971 that lusted. 35From Kibroth-hattaavahH6914 the peopleH5971 journeyed unto HazerothH2698; and they abode at HazerothH2698.
