Numbers 11:16-29

16The LordH3068 therefore saidH559 to MosesH4872, “GatherH622 for Me 1seventyH7657 menH376 from the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, 2whomH834 you knowH3045 to be the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971 and their officersH7860 and bringH3947 them to the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and let them takeH3320 their standH3320 thereH8033 with you. 173Then I will comeH3381 downH3381 and speakH1696 with you thereH8033, and I will takeH680 of 4the SpiritH7307 whoH834 is upon you, and will putH7760 Him upon them; and they shall bearH5375 the burdenH4853 of the peopleH5971 with you, so that you will not bearH5375 it all aloneH905. 18SayH559 to the peopleH5971, ‘5ConsecrateH6942 yourselves for tomorrowH4279, and you shall eatH398 meatH1320; for you have weptH1058 6in the earsH241 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, “OhH4310 that someoneH4310 would give us meatH1320 to eatH398! For we were well-offH2895 in EgyptH4714.” Therefore the LordH3068 will giveH5414 you meatH1320 and you shall eatH398. 19You shall eatH398, not oneH259 dayH3117, norH3808 two daysH3117, norH3808 fiveH2568 daysH3117, norH3808 tenH6235 daysH3117, norH3808 twentyH6242 daysH3117, 207but a wholeH3117 monthH2320, untilH5704H834 it comesH3318 out of your nostrilsH639 and becomesH1961 loathsomeH2214 to you; becauseH3282H3588 8you have rejectedH3988 the LordH3068 whoH834 is amongH7130 you and have weptH1058 beforeH6440 Him, sayingH559, “WhyH4100 did we everH2088 leaveH3318H4480 EgyptH4714?”’” 21But MosesH4872 saidH559, “The peopleH5971, amongH7130 whomH834 I am, are 600,000H8337H3967H505 on footH7273; yet You have saidH559, ‘I will giveH5414 them meatH1320, so that they may eatH398 for a wholeH3117 monthH2320.’ 22Should flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 be slaughteredH7819 for them, to be sufficientH4672 for them? OrH518 should allH3605 the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 be gatheredH622 together for them, to be sufficientH4672 for them?” 23The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “Is 9the Lord’sH3068 10powerH3027 limitedH7114? NowH6258 you shall seeH7200 whether 11My wordH1697 will 12comeH7136 trueH7136 for you orH518 not.”

24So MosesH4872 wentH3318 out and 13toldH1696 the peopleH5971 the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068. Also, he gatheredH622 seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and stationedH5975 them aroundH5439 the tentH168. 2514Then the LordH3068 cameH3381 downH3381 in the cloudH6051 and spokeH1696 to him; and He tookH680 of the SpiritH7307 whoH834 was upon him and placedH5414 Him upon the seventyH7657 eldersH2205. And when the SpiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them, they prophesiedH5012. But they did not doH3254 it againH3254.

26But twoH8147 menH376 had remainedH7604 in the campH4264; the nameH8034 of oneH259 was EldadH419 and the nameH8034 of the 15otherH8145 MedadH4312. And 16the SpiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them (now they were among those who had been registeredH3789, but had not goneH3318 out to the tentH168), and they prophesiedH5012 in the campH4264. 27So a youngH5288 manH5288 ranH7323 and toldH5046 MosesH4872 and saidH559, “EldadH419 and MedadH4312 are prophesyingH5012 in the campH4264.” 28Then 17JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the attendantH8334 of MosesH4872 from his youthH979, saidH559, “18MosesH4872, my lordH113, restrainH3607 them.” 29But MosesH4872 saidH559 to him, “Are you jealousH7065 for my sake? 19WouldH4310H5414 that allH3605 the Lord’sH3068 peopleH5971 were prophetsH5030, that the LordH3068 would putH5414 His SpiritH7307 upon them!”
