Berean Standard Bible
And
when
the people complained,
it
displeased
the LORD:
and
the LORD heard
it;
and his anger was kindled ;
and the
fire of
the LORD burnt
among them ,
and consumed them
that
were
in
the uttermost
parts
of the camp.
Soon
the people began
to
complain
about
their
hardship
in
the hearing
of
the LORD ,
and when
He
heard
them,
His anger was kindled ,
and fire from
the LORD blazed
among them and consumed the outskirts
of the camp.
And the people cried unto
Moses ;
and when
Moses
prayed unto
the LORD, the fire was
quenched
.
And the people cried out
to
Moses ,
and he
prayed to
the LORD, and
the fire died
down
.
And
he
called
the
name
of
the
place Taberah :
because the fire of the LORD burnt
among them.
So
that
place was
called
Taberah ,
because the fire of the LORD had
burned
among them.
And
the mixed
multitude
that
was
among them fell
a lusting:
and the children
of
Israel
also
wept again,
and said, Who shall
give
us flesh
to
eat
?
Meanwhile,
the rabble
among them had
a strong
craving
for
other
food,
and again
the Israelites
wept and said, “
Who will
feed
us meat
?
We remember the fish ,
which
we did
eat
in Egypt freely;
the cucumbers, and
the
melons, and
the
leeks, and
the
onions, and the
garlic :
We remember the fish we ate
freely
in Egypt ,
along
with
the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic .
But now our soul
is dried
away:
there is nothing at
all,
beside
this manna ,
before
our
eyes.
But now our appetite
is gone;
there is nothing to
see
but
this manna !”
And
the manna was
as
coriander seed, and the
color
thereof
as
the
color
of bdellium
.
Now
the manna resembled
coriander seed, and its
appearance
was
like
that
of gum
resin
.
And
the people went
about,
and gathered it, and
ground it in
mills,
or beat
it in a mortar, and
baked
it in pans,
and
made
cakes
of
it :
and
the
taste
of
it was
as
the
taste
of
fresh
oil.
The people walked
around
and gathered it, ground it on
a
handmill
or crushed
it in a mortar, then
boiled
it in a
cooking
pot
or
shaped
it into
cakes.
It tasted
like
pastry
baked
with
fine
oil.
And
when the dew fell upon
the camp in
the
night, the manna fell
upon
it.
When the dew fell on
the camp at
night, the manna would
fall
with
it.
Then Moses heard the people weep
throughout
their families
, every
man
in
the
door
of
his
tent:
and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly ;
Moses also
was displeased.
Then Moses heard the people of
family
after
family
weeping
at
the
entrances
to
their tents
, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly ,
and
Moses was also
displeased.
And
Moses said
unto
the LORD, Wherefore
hast
thou
afflicted
thy
servant? and
wherefore
have I not found favor in thy
sight, that thou
layest
the burden of all this
people upon
me
?
So
Moses asked
the LORD, “Why
have
You
brought
this
trouble
on
Your
servant? Why
have I not found favor in Your
sight, that You
have
laid
upon
me
the burden of all these
people?
Have
I conceived
all this
people? have
I begotten
them, that thou
shouldest
say
unto
me, Carry them in thy
bosom, as a nursing
father
beareth
the
sucking
child
, unto
the land which
thou
swarest
unto
their fathers?
Did
I conceive
all these
people? Did
I give
them birth
, so
that You
should
tell
me, ‘
Carry them in your
bosom, as a nurse
carries
an
infant
, ’
to
the land that
You
swore
to
give
their fathers?
Whence
should
I have
flesh
to
give
unto
all this
people? for they weep
unto
me, saying,
Give us flesh,
that
we
may
eat .
Where
can
I get
meat
for
all these
people? For they keep
crying
out
to
me, ‘
Give us meat
to
eat !’
I am
not
able
to
bear
all this
people alone,
because
it is too heavy
for me.
I cannot
carry
all these
people by
myself;
it is too burdensome
for me.
And
if thou
deal
thus
with
me, kill me ,
I
pray
thee,
out
of
hand,
if I have found favor in thy
sight;
and let me not see my wretchedness.
If this
is
how
You
are
going
to
treat
me, please
kill me right
now—
if I have found favor in Your
eyes—
and let me not see my own
wretchedness. ”
And
the LORD said unto
Moses, Gather
unto
me seventy men
of the elders of Israel ,
whom
thou
knowest
to be
the
elders
of the people ,
and
officers
over
them;
and
bring them unto
the tabernacle
of the
congregation,
that
they
may
stand there with thee
.
Then
the LORD said to
Moses, “Bring
Me seventy of the elders of Israel known
to you
as
leaders
and
officers
of the people .
Bring them to
the Tent
of Meeting
and
have
them
stand there with you
.
And I will come down and talk
with thee
there :
and I will take of the spirit which
is upon
thee,
and will
put it
upon
them ;
and
they shall
bear the burden of the people with
thee
, that thou
bear it not
thyself
alone
.
And I will come down and speak
with you
there ,
and I will take some
of the Spirit that
is on
you
and put that
Spirit
on
them .
They will
help
you
bear the burden of the people, so
that you
do
not
have
to
bear it by
yourself
.
And say thou
unto
the people ,
Sanctify
yourselves against
to
morrow
, and ye
shall
eat flesh:
for
ye
have wept
in the ears
of the LORD, saying ,
Who shall
give
us flesh
to
eat
? for it
was
well
with
us
in Egypt :
therefore the LORD will give you flesh
, and ye
shall
eat.
And say to
the people :
Consecrate
yourselves for
tomorrow
, and you
will
eat meat,
because
you
have cried
out
in the hearing
of the LORD, saying :
‘
Who will
feed
us meat
? For we
were
better
off
in Egypt !’
Therefore the LORD will give you meat
, and you
will
eat.
Ye
shall
not
eat one day,
nor
two days, nor five days,
neither
ten days,
nor
twenty days ;
You
will
eat it
not
for
one or
two days, nor for
five or
ten or
twenty days ,
But even
a whole month ,
until it come
out at
your nostrils ,
and it
be
loathsome
unto
you :
because that
ye
have despised
the LORD which
is among you, and have wept
before him, saying, Why came
we forth
out
of
Egypt?
but for
a whole month —
until it comes
out of
your nostrils and makes
you nauseous—
because you
have rejected
the LORD ,
who
is among you, and have cried
out
before Him, saying, ‘
Why did
we ever
leave
Egypt? ’”
And
Moses said,
The
people
, among
whom
I am, are
six
hundred
thousand
footmen;
and
thou
hast
said
, I will give them flesh
, that
they may
eat a whole
month.
But
Moses replied
, “Here
I am among
600
, 000
men
on
foot
, yet
You
say,
‘
I will give them meat
, and
they will
eat for
a month. ’
Shall
the
flocks and the
herds be
slain
for them, to
suffice
them
? or shall
all the fish of
the sea be
gathered
together
for them, to
suffice
them
?
If
all
our
flocks and herds were
slaughtered
for them, would
they
have
enough
? Or if
all the fish in
the sea were
caught
for them, would
they
have
enough
? ”
And
the LORD said
unto
Moses, Is the LORD's
hand
waxed
short? thou
shalt
see
now whether my word shall
come to pass unto
thee
or
not
.
The LORD answered
Moses, “
Is the LORD’s
arm
too
short? Now you
will
see
whether or
not
My word will
come to pass. ”
And
Moses went out ,
and told
the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the
seventy men
of the elders of the people ,
and set
them round
about
the tabernacle
.
So
Moses went out and relayed
to
the people the words of the LORD, and he
gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had
them stand
around
the tent
.
And
the LORD came down in a
cloud ,
and spake
unto
him, and took of the spirit that was upon
him,
and gave
it
unto
the seventy elders :
and
it
came
to
pass,
that,
when
the spirit rested upon
them, they prophesied ,
and
did not
cease
.
Then
the LORD came down in the
cloud and spoke
to
him, and He
took some
of the Spirit that was on
Moses
and placed
that
Spirit
on
the seventy elders .
As
the Spirit rested on
them, they prophesied —but
they
never
did so
again
.
But
there
remained
two of
the
men in the camp ,
the
name
of
the
one was
Eldad ,
and the name
of
the
other Medad :
and the spirit rested upon
them ;
and
they were of
them
that
were
written
, but went
not out unto
the tabernacle:
and they prophesied in the camp.
Two men ,
however,
had
remained
in the camp —
one named
Eldad and the other Medad —
and the Spirit rested on
them .
They were among
those
listed
, but they
had
not gone
out to
the tent,
and they prophesied in the camp.
And
there
ran
a young man ,
and told
Moses, and
said,
Eldad and Medad do
prophesy
in the camp.
A young man ran
and reported
to
Moses, “
Eldad and Medad are
prophesying
in the camp. ”
And
Joshua the
son of Nun, the servant
of
Moses ,
one
of
his
young
men
, answered
and said, My lord Moses
, forbid
them .
Joshua son of Nun, the attendant
to
Moses since
youth
, spoke
up
and said, “Moses,
my lord, stop
them !”
And
Moses said
unto
him
, Enviest
thou
for
my sake
? would
God
that all the LORD's
people were prophets ,
and that the LORD would put
his spirit upon
them!
But
Moses replied
, “Are
you
jealous
on
my account
? I
wish
that all the LORD’s
people were prophets and that the LORD would place
His Spirit on
them! ”
And
Moses gat
him
into
the camp, he
and
the elders of Israel.
Then
Moses returned
to
the camp, along
with
the elders of Israel.
And
there
went
forth
a wind from
the LORD, and
brought
quails
from the sea, and let
them fall
by
the camp, as
it
were
a
day's
journey
on
this
side,
and
as
it
were
a
day's
journey
on
the
other
side,
round
about the
camp,
and
as
it
were
two cubits high
upon
the face
of the earth
.
Now
a wind sent
by
the LORD came
up
, drove
in
quail
from the sea, and brought
them near
the camp, about two cubits above
the surface
of the ground,
for
a
day’s
journey
in
every
direction
around
the
camp
.
And
the
people
stood
up
all that day ,
and all
that
night, and all the next day, and
they
gathered
the quails:
he
that
gathered
least
gathered ten homers :
and they spread them all abroad
for
themselves
round
about
the camp.
All that day and night, and all the next day, the people
stayed
up
gathering
the
quail.
No
one
gathered less
than
ten homers ,
and they spread them out
all around
the camp.
And
while the flesh
was yet
between their teeth, ere
it was chewed, the wrath
of the LORD was
kindled
against the people, and the LORD smote
the
people
with a very
great
plague.
But
while the meat
was still
between their teeth, before
it was chewed, the anger
of the LORD burned
against the people, and the LORD struck
them
with a severe
plague.
And
he
called the
name
of
that place Kibrothhattaavah:
because there they buried the people that
lusted
.
So
they
called that place Kibroth-hattaavah,
because there they buried the people who
had
craved
other
food
.
And
the people journeyed
from
Kibrothhattaavah
unto
Hazeroth;
and
abode
at
Hazeroth.
From
Kibroth-hattaavah
the people moved
on
to
Hazeroth ,
where
they
remained
for
some
time
.
