Numbers 11:24-35

24So Moses went out and 1told the people the words of the Lord. He also gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and positioned them around the tent. 252Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took away some of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. Yet they did not do it again.

26But two men had remained in the camp; the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the 3other, Medad. And 4the Spirit rested upon them (and 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 informed Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28Then 5Joshua the son of Nun, the personal servant of Moses from his youth, responded and said, “6My lord Moses, restrain them!” 29But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? 7If only all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!” 30Then Moses 8returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.

319Now a wind burst forth from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea, and dropped them 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 about 10two cubits deep on the surface of the ground. 32And the people 11spent all that day, all night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the one who gathered least gathered 12ten 13homers) and spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 3314While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very severe plague. 34So that place was named 1516Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had been greedy. 35From Kibroth-hattaavah 17the people set out for Hazeroth, and they 18remained at Hazeroth.
