Numbers 11:13-22

13Where am I to get meat to give to 1all this people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat so that we may eat!’ 142I am not able to carry all this people by myself, because it is too 3burdensome for me. 154So if You are going to deal with me this way, please kill me now, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my misery.”

16The Lord therefore said to Moses, “Gather for Me 5seventy men from the elders of Israel, 6whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and have them take their stand there with you. 177Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take away some of 8the Spirit who is upon you, and put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it by yourself. 18And you shall say to the people, ‘9Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept 10in the ears of the Lord, saying, “11Oh 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, 2012but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nose and 13makes you nauseated; because 14you 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 included, are six hundred thousand on foot! Yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.’ 22Are flocks and herds to be slaughtered for them, so that it will be sufficient for them? Or are all the fish of the sea to be 15caught for them, so that it will be sufficient for them?”
