Revised Version 1895

1And the peopleH5971 were as murmurers, speaking evilH7451 in the earsH241 of the LORDH3068: and when the LORDH3068 heardH8085 it, his angerH639 was kindledH2734; and the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 burnt among them, and devouredH398 in the uttermost part of the campH4264. 2And the peopleH5971 criedH6817 unto MosesH4872; and MosesH4872 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and the fireH784 abated. 3And the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 TaberahH8404: becauseH3588 the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 burnt among them. 4And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 also weptH1058 againH7725, and saidH559, Who shall giveH7725 usH7725 fleshH1320 to eatH398? 5WeH834 rememberH2142 the fishH1710, whichH834 weH834 didH834 eatH398 in EgyptH4714 for nought; the cucumbersH7180, and the melonsH20, and the leeksH2682, and the onionsH1211, and the garlick: 6but nowH6258 our soulH5315 is driedH3002 awayH3605; there is nothingH369 at allH3605: weH6258 have nought saveH5315 this mannaH4478 to lookH5869 to. 7And the mannaH4478 was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, and the appearanceH5869 thereof as the appearanceH5869 of bdelliumH916. 8The peopleH5971 wentH1961 aboutH1961, and gatheredH3950 it, and groundH2912 it in mills, or beatH1743 it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and madeH6213 cakesH5692 of it: and the tasteH2940 of it was as the tasteH2940 of fresh oilH8081. 9And when the dewH2919 fellH5921 uponH5921 the campH4264 in the nightH3915, the mannaH4478 fellH5921 uponH5921 it. 10And MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 weepingH1058 throughoutH8085 their familiesH4940, everyH376 manH376 at the doorH6607 of his tentH168: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 greatlyH3966; and MosesH4872 was displeasedH7489. 11And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Wherefore hast thou evilH7489 entreated thy servantH5650? and wherefore have I notH3808 foundH4672 favour in thy sightH5869, that thou layest the burdenH4853 of allH3605 this peopleH5971 uponH5921 meH413? 12Have I conceivedH2029 allH3605 this peopleH5971? have I broughtH3205 them forthH3205, that thou shouldest sayH559 unto meH413, CarryH5375 them in thy bosomH2436, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking childH3205, unto the landH127 whichH834 thou swarest unto their fathersH1? 13Whence should I have fleshH1320 to giveH5414 unto allH3605 this peopleH5971? for they weepH1058 unto meH5414, sayingH559, GiveH5414 usH5414 fleshH1320, that weH3588 may eatH398. 14I am notH3808 ableH3201 to bearH5375 allH3605 this peopleH5971 aloneH905, becauseH3588 it is tooH4480 heavyH3515 for meH4480. 15And ifH518 thou dealH6213 thusH3602 with meH4994, killH2026 meH4994, I prayH4994 thee, outH7200 of hand, ifH518 I have foundH4672 favour in thy sightH5869; and letH4994 meH4994 notH408 seeH7200 my wretchedness. 16And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, GatherH622 unto meH413 seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, whomH834 thou knowest to be the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and officersH7860 over them; and bringH3947 them unto the tentH168 of meetingH4150, that they may standH3320 there with thee. 17And I will comeH3381 downH3381 and talkH1696 with thee there: and I will takeH5375 of the spiritH7307 whichH834 is uponH5921 thee, and will putH7760 it uponH5921 them; and they shall bearH5375 the burdenH4853 of the peopleH5971 with thee, that thou bearH5375 it notH3808 thyself aloneH905. 18And sayH559 thou unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves againstH413 tomorrowH4279, and ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320: for ye have weptH1058 in the earsH241 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Who shall giveH5414 usH5414 fleshH1320 to eatH398? for it was wellH2895 with usH5414 in EgyptH4714: therefore the LORDH3068 will giveH5414 youH3588 fleshH1320, and ye shall eatH398. 19Ye shall notH3808 eatH398 one dayH3117, norH3808 twoH3808 daysH3117, norH3808 fiveH2568 daysH3117, neitherH3808 tenH6235 daysH3117, norH3808 twentyH6242 daysH3117; 20but a wholeH3117 monthH2320, untilH5704 it comeH1961 outH3318 at your nostrilsH639, and it be loathsomeH2214 unto youH834: becauseH3588 that ye have rejectedH3988 the LORDH3068 whichH834 is among youH834, and have weptH1058 beforeH6440 him, sayingH559, WhyH4100 cameH1961 weH3588 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714? 21And MosesH4872 saidH559, The peopleH5971, among whomH834 I am, are sixH8337 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273; and thou hast saidH559, I will giveH5414 them fleshH1320, that they may eatH398 a wholeH3117 monthH2320. 22Shall flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 be slainH7819 for them, to suffice them? or shall allH3605 the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 be gatheredH622 togetherH622 for them, to suffice them? 23And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Is the LORD’SH3068 handH3027 waxed short? nowH6258 shalt thou seeH7200 whetherH518 my wordH1697 shall comeH7136 to pass unto thee or notH3808. 24And MosesH4872 wentH3318 outH3318, and toldH1696 the peopleH5971 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068: and he gatheredH622 seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and setH5975 them roundH5439 aboutH5439 the TentH168. 25And the LORDH3068 cameH1961 downH3381 in the cloudH6051, and spake unto him, and tookH1961 of the spiritH7307 that was uponH5921 him, and putH5414 it uponH5921 the seventyH7657 eldersH2205: and it cameH1961 to passH1961, that, when the spiritH7307 restedH5117 uponH5921 them, they prophesiedH5012, but they didH834 soH4480 noH3808 moreH4480. 26But there remainedH7604 twoH8147 menH376 in the campH4264, the nameH8034 of the one was EldadH419, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 MedadH4312: and the spiritH7307 restedH5117 uponH5921 them; and they were of them that were writtenH3789, but had notH3808 goneH3318 outH3318 unto the TentH168: and they prophesiedH5012 in the campH4264. 27And there ranH7323 a youngH5288 manH5288, and toldH5046 MosesH4872, and saidH559, EldadH419 and MedadH4312 do prophesyH5012 in the campH4264. 28And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the ministerH8334 of MosesH4872, one of his chosen menH1121, answeredH559 and saidH559, My lordH113 MosesH4872, forbid them. 29And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto him, Art thou jealousH7065 for my sakeH5921? would GodH3068 that allH3605 the LORD’SH3068 peopleH5971 were prophetsH5030, that the LORDH3068 would putH5414 his spiritH7307 uponH5921 them! 30And MosesH4872 gat him intoH413 the campH4264, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 31And there wentH1468 forthH5265 a windH7307 from the LORDH3068, and broughtH1468 quailsH7958 from the seaH3220, and let them fallH5203 by the campH4264, aboutH5439 a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 on this sideH5439, and a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 on the otherH3541 sideH5439, roundH5439 aboutH5439 the campH4264, and aboutH5439 twoH4480 cubitsH520 aboveH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH776. 32And the peopleH5971 roseH6965 upH6965 allH3605 that dayH3117, and allH3605 the nightH3915, and allH3605 the nextH4283 dayH3117, and gatheredH622 the quailsH7958: he that gatheredH622 leastH4591 gatheredH622 tenH6235 homersH2563: and they spreadH7849 them allH3605 abroad for themselvesH622 roundH5439 aboutH5439 the campH4264. 33WhileH5750 the fleshH1320 was yet betweenH996 their teethH8127, ere it was chewedH3772, the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 againstH2734 the peopleH5971, and the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 with a veryH3966 greatH3966 plagueH4347. 34And the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 Kibroth-hattaavahH6914: becauseH3588 there they buriedH6912 the peopleH5971 that lusted. 35From Kibroth-hattaavahH6914 the peopleH5971 journeyedH5265 unto HazerothH2698; and they abode at HazerothH2698.
