Numbers 11:17-25

17Then I will come down and speak with you there, and, I will take some of the Ruach that is on you and will place it on them. They will carry with you the burden of the people, so you will not be carrying it alone.”

18“Now to the people say: Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because you will eat meat, for you wailed in Adonai’s ears saying, ‘If only we could eat meat! It was better for us in Egypt!’ Now Adonai will give you meat and you will eat!

19You will eat—not for one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,

20but for an entire month—until it is coming out of your nostrils and it becomes loathsome to you! For you rejected Adonai who is among you, and you wailed to His face saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?”

21Moses then said, “600,000 foot soldiers—the people I am in the middle of---yet You say, ‘I am going to give them meat to eat for an entire month?’

22If flocks and herds were slaughtered, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught, would they have enough?”

23Adonai said to Moses, “Is Adonai’s arm too short? Now you will see whether My word will come true for you or not.”

24So Moses went out and told the people Adonai’s words. He gathered 70 of the elders of the people and had them stand around the Tent.

25Adonai descended in the cloud and spoke with him. He took some of the Ruach that was on him and placed it on each of the 70 elders. It so happened that when the Ruach first rested on them, they prophesied—but never again.
