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!
