Dual Panel1Now the people<5971> became<1961> like those who complain<596> of adversity<7451> in the hearing<241> of the LORD<3068>; and when the LORD<3068> heard<8085> it, His anger<639> was kindled<2734>, and the fire<784> of the LORD<3068> burned<1197> among them and consumed<398> some of the outskirts<7097> of the camp<4264>.
2The people<5971> therefore cried<6817> out to Moses<4872>, and Moses<4872> prayed<6419> to the LORD<3068> and the fire<784> died<8257> out.
3So the name<8034> of that place<4725> was called<7121> Taberah<8404>, because<3588> the fire<784> of the LORD<3068> burned<1197> among them.
4The rabble<628> who<834> were among<7130> them had<183> greedy<8378> desires<183><8378>; and also<1571> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> wept<1058> again<7725> and said<559>, "Who<4310> will give us meat<1320> to eat<398>?
5"We remember<2142> the fish<1710> which<834> we used to eat<398> free<2600> in Egypt<4714>, the cucumbers<7180> and the melons<20> and the leeks<2682> and the onions<1211> and the garlic<7762>,
6but now<6258> our appetite<5315> is gone<3002>. There<369> is nothing<369> at all<3605> to look<5869> at except<1115> this manna<4478>."
7Now the manna<4478> was like coriander<1407> seed<2233>, and its appearance<5869> like that of bdellium<916>.
8The people<5971> would go<7751> about<7751> and gather<3950> it and grind<2912> it between two millstones<7347> or<176> beat<1743> it in the mortar<4085>, and boil<1310> it in the pot<6517> and make<6213> cakes<5692> with it; and its taste<2940> was as the taste<2940> of cakes<3955> baked<3955> with oil<8081>.
9When the dew<2919> fell<3381> on the camp<4264> at night<3915>, the manna<4478> would fall<3381> with it.
10Now Moses<4872> heard<8085> the people<5971> weeping<1058> throughout their families<4940>, each<376> man<376> at the doorway<6607> of his tent<168>; and the anger<639> of the LORD<3068> was kindled<2734> greatly<3966>, and Moses<4872> was displeased<7489><5869>.
11So Moses<4872> said<559> to the LORD<3068>, "Why<4100> have You been so hard<7489> on Your servant<5650>? And why<4100> have I not found<4672> favor<2580> in Your sight<5869>, that You have laid<7760> the burden<4853> of all<3605> this<2088> people<5971> on me?
12"Was it I who conceived<2029> all<3605> this<2088> people<5971>? Was it I who brought<3205> them forth<3205>, that You should say<559> to me, 'Carry<5375> them in your bosom<2436> as a nurse<539> carries<5375> a nursing<3243> infant<3243>, to the land<127> which<834> You swore<7650> to their fathers<1>'?
13"Where<4480><370> am I to get meat<1320> to give<5414> to all<3605> this<2088> people<5971>? For they weep<1058> before<5921> me, saying<559>, 'Give<5414> us meat<1320> that we may eat<398>!'
14"I alone<905> am not able<3201> to carry<5375> all<3605> this<2088> people<5971>, because<3588> it is too<4480> burdensome<3515> for me.
15"So if<518> You are going to deal<6213> thus<3602> with me, please<4994> kill<2026> me at once<2026>, if<518> I have found<4672> favor<2580> in Your sight<5869>, and do not let me see<7200> my wretchedness<7463>."
16The LORD<3068> therefore said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Gather<622> for Me seventy<7657> men<376> from the elders<2205> of Israel<3478>, whom<834> you know<3045> to be the elders<2205> of the people<5971> and their officers<7860> and bring<3947> them to the tent<168> of meeting<4150>, and let them take<3320> their stand<3320> there<8033> with you.
17"Then I will come<3381> down<3381> and speak<1696> with you there<8033>, and I will take<680> of the Spirit<7307> who<834> is upon you, and will put<7760> Him upon them; and they shall bear<5375> the burden<4853> of the people<5971> with you, so that you will not bear<5375> it all alone<905>.
18"Say<559> to the people<5971>, 'Consecrate<6942> yourselves for tomorrow<4279>, and you shall eat<398> meat<1320>; for you have wept<1058> in the ears<241> of the LORD<3068>, saying<559>, "Oh<4310> that someone<4310> would give us meat<1320> to eat<398>! For we were well-off<2895> in Egypt<4714>." Therefore the LORD<3068> will give<5414> you meat<1320> and you shall eat<398>.
19'You shall eat<398>, not one<259> day<3117>, nor<3808> two days<3117>, nor<3808> five<2568> days<3117>, nor<3808> ten<6235> days<3117>, nor<3808> twenty<6242> days<3117>,
20but a whole<3117> month<2320>, until<5704><834> it comes<3318> out of your nostrils<639> and becomes<1961> loathsome<2214> to you; because<3282><3588> you have rejected<3988> the LORD<3068> who<834> is among<7130> you and have wept<1058> before<6440> Him, saying<559>, "Why<4100> did we ever<2088> leave<3318><4480> Egypt<4714>?"'"
21But Moses<4872> said<559>, "The people<5971>, among<7130> whom<834> I am, are 600,000 <8337><3967><505> on foot<7273>; yet You have said<559>, 'I will give<5414> them meat<1320>, so that they may eat<398> for a whole<3117> month<2320>.'
22"Should flocks<6629> and herds<1241> be slaughtered<7819> for them, to be sufficient<4672> for them? Or<518> should all<3605> the fish<1709> of the sea<3220> be gathered<622> together for them, to be sufficient<4672> for them?"
23The LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Is the LORD'S<3068> power<3027> limited<7114>? Now<6258> you shall see<7200> whether My word<1697> will come<7136> true<7136> for you or<518> not."
24So Moses<4872> went<3318> out and told<1696> the people<5971> the words<1697> of the LORD<3068>. Also, he gathered<622> seventy<7657> men<376> of the elders<2205> of the people<5971>, and stationed<5975> them around<5439> the tent<168>.
25Then the LORD<3068> came<3381> down<3381> in the cloud<6051> and spoke<1696> to him; and He took<680> of the Spirit<7307> who<834> was upon him and placed<5414> Him upon the seventy<7657> elders<2205>. And when the Spirit<7307> rested<5117> upon them, they prophesied<5012>. But they did not do<3254> it again<3254>.
26But two<8147> men<376> had remained<7604> in the camp<4264>; the name<8034> of one<259> was Eldad<419> and the name<8034> of the other<8145> Medad<4312>. And the Spirit<7307> rested<5117> upon them (now they were among those who had been registered<3789>, but had not gone<3318> out to the tent<168>), and they prophesied<5012> in the camp<4264>.
27So a young<5288> man<5288> ran<7323> and told<5046> Moses<4872> and said<559>, "Eldad<419> and Medad<4312> are prophesying<5012> in the camp<4264>."
28Then Joshua<3091> the son<1121> of Nun<5126>, the attendant<8334> of Moses<4872> from his youth<979>, said<559>, "Moses<4872>, my lord<113>, restrain<3607> them."
29But Moses<4872> said<559> to him, "Are you jealous<7065> for my sake? Would<4310><5414> that all<3605> the LORD'S<3068> people<5971> were prophets<5030>, that the LORD<3068> would put<5414> His Spirit<7307> upon them!"
30Then Moses<4872> returned<622> to the camp<4264>, both he and the elders<2205> of Israel<3478>.
31Now there went<5265> forth<5265> a wind<7307> from the LORD<3068> and it brought<1468> quail<7958> from the sea<3220>, and let them fall<5203> beside<5921> the camp<4264>, about a day's<3117> journey<1870> on this<3541> side<3541> and a day's<3117> journey<1870> on the other<3541> side<3541>, all<5439> around<5439> the camp<4264> and about two cubits<520> deep on the surface<6440> of the ground<776>.
32The people<5971> spent<6965> all<3605> day<3117> and all<3605> night<3915> and all<3605> the next<4283> day<3117>, and gathered<622> the quail<7958> (he who gathered least<4591> gathered<622> ten<6235> homers<2563>) and they spread<7849> them out for themselves all<5439> around<5439> the camp<4264>.
33While the meat<1320> was still<5750> between<996> their teeth<8127>, before<2962> it was chewed<3772>, the anger<639> of the LORD<3068> was kindled<2734> against the people<5971>, and the LORD<3068> struck<5221> the people<5971> with a very<3966> severe<7227> plague<4347>.
34So the name<8034> of that place<4725> was called<7121> Kibroth-hattaavah<6914>, because<3588> there<8033> they buried<6912> the people<5971> who had been<183> greedy<183>.
35From Kibroth-hattaavah<6914> the people<5971> set<5265> out for Hazeroth<2698>, and they remained<1961> at Hazeroth<2698>.
