Numbers 11:17-25
171Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of 2the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone. 18Say to the people, ‘3Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept 4in the ears of the Lord, saying, “Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For we were well-off in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat and you shall eat. 19You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, 205but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because 6you have rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’” 21But Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are 600,000 on foot; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.’ 22Should flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Or should all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?” 23The Lord said to Moses, “Is 7the Lord’s 8power limited? Now you shall see whether 9My word will 10come true for you or not.”
24So Moses went out and 11told the people the words of the Lord. Also, he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and stationed them around the tent. 2512Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again.
