And the people{H5971} were as murmurers,{H596} [speaking] evil in the ears{H7451} of Jehovah:{H3068} and when Jehovah{H3068} heard{H8085} it, his anger{H639} was kindled;{H2734} and the fire{H784} of Jehovah{H3068} burnt{H1197} among them, and devoured{H398} in the uttermost part{H7097} of the camp.{H4264}

And the people{H5971} cried{H6817} unto Moses;{H4872} and Moses{H4872} prayed{H6419} unto Jehovah,{H3068} and the fire{H784} abated.{H8257}

And the{H1931} name{H8034} of that place{H4725} was called{H7121} Taberah,{H8404} because the fire{H784} of Jehovah{H3068} burnt{H1197} among them.

And the mixed multitude{H628} that was among{H7130} them lusted{H183} exceedingly: and the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} also wept{H1058} again,{H7725} and said,{H559} Who shall give us flesh{H1320} to eat?{H398}

We remember{H2142} the fish,{H1710} which we did eat{H398} in Egypt{H4714} for nought;{H2600} the cucumbers,{H7180} and the melons,{H20} and the leeks,{H2682} and the onions,{H1211} and the garlic:{H7762}

but now our soul{H5315} is dried away;{H3002} there is nothing at all save{H1115} this manna{H4478} to look{H5869} upon.

And the manna{H4478} was like coriander{H1407} seed,{H2233} and the appearance{H5869} thereof as the appearance{H5869} of bdellium.{H916}

The people{H5971} went about,{H7751} and gathered{H3950} it, and ground{H2912} it in mills,{H7347} or beat{H1743} it in mortars,{H4085} and boiled{H1310} it in pots,{H6517} and made{H6213} cakes{H5692} of it: and the taste{H2940} of it was as the taste{H2940} of fresh{H3955} oil.{H8081}

And when the dew{H2919} fell{H3381} upon the camp{H4264} in the night,{H3915} the manna{H4478} fell{H3381} upon it.

And Moses{H4872} heard{H8085} the people{H5971} weeping{H1058} throughout their families,{H4940} every man{H376} at the door{H6607} of his tent:{H168} and the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} greatly;{H3966} and Moses{H4872} was displeased.{H7489}

And Moses{H4872} said{H559} unto Jehovah,{H3068} Wherefore hast thou dealt ill{H7489} with thy servant?{H5650} and wherefore have I not found{H4672} favor{H2580} in thy sight,{H5869} that thou layest{H7760} the burden{H4853} of all this people{H5971} upon me?

Have I conceived{H2029} all this people?{H5971} have I brought them forth,{H3205} that thou shouldest say{H559} unto me, Carry{H5375} them in thy bosom,{H2436} as a nursing-father{H539} carrieth{H5375} the sucking child,{H3243} unto the land{H127} which thou swarest{H7650} unto their fathers?{H1}

Whence{H370} should I have flesh{H1320} to give{H5414} unto all this people?{H5971} for they weep{H1058} unto me, saying,{H559} Give{H5414} us flesh,{H1320} that we may eat.{H398}

I am not able{H3201} to bear{H5375} all this people{H5971} alone,{H905} because it is too heavy{H3515} for me.

And if thou deal{H6213} thus with me, kill{H2026} me, I pray thee, out of hand,{H2026} if I have found{H4672} favor{H2580} in thy sight;{H5869} and let me not see{H7200} my wretchedness.{H7451}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} Gather{H622} unto me seventy{H7657} men{H376} of the elders{H2205} of Israel,{H3478} whom thou knowest{H3045} to be the elders{H2205} of the people,{H5971} and officers{H7860} over them; and bring{H3947} them unto the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} that they may stand{H3320} there with thee.

And I will come down{H3381} and talk{H1696} with thee there: and I will take{H680} of the Spirit{H7307} which is upon thee, and will put{H7760} it upon them; and they shall bear{H5375} the burden{H4853} of the people{H5971} with thee, that thou bear{H5375} it not thyself alone.

And say{H559} thou unto the people,{H5971} Sanctify{H6942} yourselves against to-morrow,{H4279} and ye shall eat{H398} flesh;{H1320} for ye have wept{H1058} in the ears{H241} of Jehovah,{H3068} saying,{H559} Who shall give us flesh{H1320} to eat?{H398} for it was well{H2895} with us in Egypt:{H4714} therefore Jehovah{H3068} will give{H5414} you flesh,{H1320} and ye shall eat.{H398}

Ye shall not eat{H398} one{H259} day,{H3117} nor two days,{H3117} nor five{H2568} days,{H3117} neither ten{H6235} days,{H3117} nor twenty{H6242} days,{H3117}

but a whole month,{H2320} until it come out{H3318} at your nostrils,{H639} and it be loathsome{H2214} unto you; because{H3282} that ye have rejected{H3988} Jehovah{H3068} who is among{H7130} you, and have wept{H1058} before{H6440} him, saying,{H559} Why came we forth{H3318} out of Egypt?{H4714}

And Moses{H4872} said,{H559} The people,{H5971} among{H7130} whom I am, are six{H8337} hundred{H3967} thousand{H505} footmen;{H7273} and thou hast said,{H559} I will give{H5414} them flesh,{H1320} that they may eat{H398} a whole{H3117} month.{H2320}

Shall flocks{H6629} and herds{H1241} be slain{H7819} for them, to suffice{H4672} them? or shall all the fish{H1709} of the sea{H3220} be gathered together{H622} for them, to suffice{H4672} them?

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} Is Jehovah's{H3068} hand{H3027} waxed short?{H7114} now shalt thou see{H7200} whether my word{H1697} shall come to pass{H7136} unto thee or not.

And Moses{H4872} went out,{H3318} and told{H1696} the people{H5971} the words{H1697} of Jehovah:{H3068} and he gathered{H622} seventy{H7657} men{H376} of the elders{H2205} of the people,{H5971} and set{H5975} them round about{H5439} the Tent.{H168}

And Jehovah{H3068} came down{H3381} in the cloud,{H6051} and spake{H1696} unto him, and took{H680} of the Spirit{H7307} that was upon him, and put{H5414} it upon the seventy{H7657} elders:{H2205} and it came to pass, that, when the Spirit{H7307} rested{H5117} upon them, they prophesied,{H5012} but they did so no more.{H3254}

But there remained{H7604} two{H8147} men{H582} in the camp,{H4264} the name{H8034} of the one{H259} was Eldad,{H419} and the name{H8034} of the other{H8145} Medad:{H4312} and the Spirit{H7307} rested{H5117} upon them; and they were of them that were written,{H3789} but had not gone out{H3318} unto the Tent;{H168} and they prophesied{H5012} in the camp.{H4264}

And there ran{H7323} a young man,{H5288} and told{H5046} Moses,{H4872} and said,{H559} Eldad{H419} and Medad{H4312} do prophesy{H5012} in the camp.{H4264}

And Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Nun,{H5126} the minister{H8334} of Moses,{H4872} one of his chosen men,{H979} answered{H6030} and said,{H559} My lord{H113} Moses,{H4872} forbid{H3607} them.

And Moses{H4872} said{H559} unto him, Art thou jealous{H7065} for my sake? would that all{H5414} Jehovah's{H3068} people{H5971} were prophets,{H5030} that Jehovah{H3068} would put{H5414} his Spirit{H7307} upon them!

And Moses{H4872} gat{H622} him into the camp,{H4264} he and the elders{H2205} of Israel.{H3478}

And there went forth{H5265} a wind{H7307} from Jehovah,{H3068} and brought{H1468} quails{H7958} from the sea,{H3220} and let them fall{H5203} by the camp,{H4264} about a day's{H3117} journey{H1870} on this side,{H3541} and a day's{H3117} journey{H1870} on the other side,{H3541} round about{H5439} the camp,{H4264} and about two cubits{H520} above the face{H6440} of the earth.{H776}

And the people{H5971} rose up{H6965} all that day,{H3117} and all the night,{H3915} and all the next{H4283} day,{H3117} and gathered{H622} the quails:{H7958} he that gathered least{H4591} gathered{H622} ten{H6235} homers:{H2563} and they spread{H7849} them all abroad{H7849} for themselves round about{H5439} the camp.{H4264}

While the flesh{H1320} was yet{H2962} between their teeth,{H8127} ere it was chewed,{H3772} the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} against the people,{H5971} and Jehovah{H3068} smote{H5221} the people{H5971} with a very{H3966} great{H7227} plague.{H4347}

And the name{H8034} of that place{H4725} was called{H7121} Kibroth-hattaavah,{H6914} because there they buried{H6912} the people{H5971} that lusted.{H183}

From Kibroth-hattaavah{H6914} the people{H5971} journeyed{H5265} unto Hazeroth;{H2698} and they abode at Hazeroth.{H2698}
