Numbers 11:24-35

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.
