ASV_Strong : Numbers 11
1. And the people[H5971] were as murmurers[H596], speaking evil in the ears[H7451] of Jehovah[H3068]: and when Jehovah[H3068] heard[H8085] it[H639], his anger was kindled[H2734]; and the fire[H784] of Jehovah[H3068] burnt[H1197] among them[H398], and devoured in the uttermost part[H7097] of the camp[H4264].
2. And the people[H5971] cried[H6817] unto Moses[H4872]; and Moses[H4872] prayed[H6419] unto Jehovah[H3068], and the fire[H784] abated[H8257].
3. And the[H1931] name[H8034] of that place[H4725] was called[H7121] Taberah[H8404], because the fire[H784] of Jehovah[H3068] burnt among them[H1197].
4. And the mixed multitude[H628] that was among[H7130] them lusted[H183] exceedingly[H1121]: and the children of Israel[H3478] also wept[H1058] again[H7725], and said[H559], Who shall give us flesh[H1320] to eat[H398]?
5. 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]:
6. but now our soul[H5315] is dried away[H3002]; there is nothing at all save[H1115] this manna[H4478] to look upon[H5869].
7. And the manna[H4478] was like coriander[H1407] seed[H2233], and the appearance[H5869] thereof as the appearance[H5869] of bdellium[H916].
8. The people[H5971] went about[H7751], and gathered[H3950] it[H2912], and ground 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[H2940]: and the taste of it was as the taste[H2940] of fresh[H3955] oil[H8081].
9. And when the dew[H2919] fell[H3381] upon the camp[H4264] in the night[H3915], the manna[H4478] fell upon it[H3381].
10. 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].
11. 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 upon me[H5971]?
12. Have I conceived[H2029] all this people[H5971]? have I brought them forth[H3205], that thou shouldest say[H559] unto me[H5375], Carry 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]?
13. Whence[H370] should I have flesh[H1320] to give[H5414] unto all this people[H5971]? for they weep[H1058] unto me[H559], saying, Give[H5414] us flesh[H1320], that we may eat[H398].
14. I am not able[H3201] to bear[H5375] all this people[H5971] alone[H905], because it is too heavy for me[H3515].
15. And if thou deal[H6213] thus with me[H2026], kill me[H2026], I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found[H4672] favor[H2580] in thy sight[H5869]; and let me not see[H7200] my wretchedness[H7451].
16. 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[H3947]; and bring them unto the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], that they may stand there with thee[H3320].
17. And I will come down[H3381] and talk[H1696] with thee there[H680]: and I will take of the Spirit[H7307] which is upon thee[H7760], and will put it upon them[H5375]; and they shall bear the burden[H4853] of the people[H5971] with thee[H5375], that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18. 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].
19. 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],
20. but a whole month[H2320], until it come out[H3318] at your nostrils[H639], and it be loathsome[H2214] unto you[H3282]; because that ye have rejected[H3988] Jehovah[H3068] who is among[H7130] you[H1058], and have wept before[H6440] him[H559], saying, Why came we forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714]?
21. And Moses[H4872] said[H559], The people[H5971], among[H7130] whom I am[H8337], are six 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].
22. Shall flocks[H6629] and herds[H1241] be slain[H7819] for them[H4672], to suffice them[H1709]? or shall all the fish of the sea[H3220] be gathered together[H622] for them[H4672], to suffice them?
23. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Is Jehovah[H3068]'s hand[H3027] waxed short[H7114]? now shalt thou see[H7200] whether my word[H1697] shall come to pass unto thee or not[H7136].
24. 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].
25. And Jehovah[H3068] came down[H3381] in the cloud[H6051], and spake[H1696] unto him[H680], and took of the Spirit[H7307] that was upon him[H5414], and put it upon the seventy[H7657] elders[H2205]: and it came to pass[H7307], that, when the Spirit rested[H5117] upon them[H5012], they prophesied, but they did so no more[H3254].
26. 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[H3789]; and they were of them that were written, but had not gone out[H3318] unto the Tent[H168]; and they prophesied[H5012] in the camp[H4264].
27. 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].
28. 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 them[H3607].
29. And Moses[H4872] said[H559] unto him[H7065], Art thou jealous for my sake[H5414]? would that all Jehovah[H3068]'s people[H5971] were prophets[H5030], that Jehovah[H3068] would put[H5414] his Spirit upon them[H7307]!
30. And Moses[H4872] gat[H622] him into the camp[H4264], he and the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478].
31. 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[H3117]'s journey[H1870] on this side[H3541], and a day[H3117]'s 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].
32. 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].
33. 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].
34. 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].
35. From Kibroth-hattaavah[H6914] the people[H5971] journeyed[H5265] unto Hazeroth[H2698]; and they abode at Hazeroth[H2698].
