Numbers 11:17-31

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.

26But two men had remained in the camp; the name of one was Eldad and the name of the 13other Medad. And 14the Spirit rested upon them (now they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp. 27So a young man ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28Then 15Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, said, “16Moses, my lord, restrain them.” 29But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? 17Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!” 30Then Moses 18returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.

3119Now there went forth a wind from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp and 20about two 21cubits deep on the surface of the ground.
