Numbers 11:16-29
16And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, GatherH622 to me seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, whom thou knowestH3045 to be the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and officersH7860 over them; and bringH3947 them to the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, that they may standH3320 there with thee. 17And I will come downH3381 and talkH1696 with thee there: and I will takeH680 of the SpiritH7307 who is upon thee, and will putH7760 it upon them; and they shall bearH5375 the burdenH4853 of the peopleH5971 with thee, that thou mayest not bearH5375 it thyself alone. 18And sayH559 thou to the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves for to morrowH4279, and ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320: for ye have weptH1058 in the earsH241 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Who shall give us fleshH1320 to eatH398? for it was wellH2895 with us in EgyptH4714: therefore the LORDH3068 will giveH5414 you fleshH1320, and ye shall eatH398. 19Ye shall not eatH398 oneH259 dayH3117, nor two daysH3117, nor fiveH2568 daysH3117, neither tenH6235 daysH3117, nor twentyH6242 daysH3117; 20But even a whole monthH2320H3117, until it shall come outH3318 at your nostrilsH639, and it be loathsomeH2214 to you: becauseH3282 ye have despisedH3988 the LORDH3068 who is amongH7130 you, and have weptH1058 beforeH6440 him, sayingH559, Why came we forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714?1 21And MosesH4872 saidH559, The peopleH5971, amongH7130 whom I am, are sixH8337 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273; and thou hast saidH559, I will giveH5414 them fleshH1320, that they may eatH398 a wholeH3117 monthH2320. 22Shall the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241 be slainH7819 for them, to sufficeH4672 for them? or shall all the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 be gathered togetherH622 for them, to sufficeH4672 for them? 23And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, Is the LORD’SH3068 handH3027 shortenedH7114? thou shalt seeH7200 now whether my wordH1697 shall come to passH7136 to thee or not.
24And MosesH4872 went outH3318, and toldH1696 the peopleH5971 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, and gatheredH622 the seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and setH5975 them aroundH5439 the tabernacleH168. 25And the LORDH3068 came downH3381 in a cloudH6051, and spokeH1696 to him, and tookH680 of the spiritH7307 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it to the seventyH7657 eldersH2205H376: and it came to pass, that, when the spiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them, they prophesiedH5012, and did not ceaseH3254. 26But there remainedH7604 twoH8147 of the menH582 in the campH4264, the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was EldadH419, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 MedadH4312: and the spiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them; and they were of them that were recordedH3789, but went not outH3318 to the tabernacleH168: and they prophesiedH5012 in the campH4264. 27And there ranH7323 a young manH5288, and toldH5046 MosesH4872, and saidH559, EldadH419 and MedadH4312 do prophesyH5012 in the campH4264. 28And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH8334 of MosesH4872, one of his young menH979, answeredH6030 and saidH559, My lordH113 MosesH4872, forbidH3607 them. 29And MosesH4872 saidH559 to him, EnviestH7065 thou for my sake? O that all theH5414 LORD’SH3068 peopleH5971 were prophetsH5030, and that the LORDH3068 would putH5414 his spiritH7307 upon them!
