04:010:031 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou
knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to
us instead of eyes.
04:010:032 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that
what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
04:010:033 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days'
journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in
the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
04:010:034 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they
went out of the camp.
04:010:035 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses
said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them
that hate thee flee before thee.
04:010:036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
04:011:001 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.
04:011:002 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
the LORD, the fire was quenched.
04:011:003 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the
fire of the LORD burnt among them.
04:011:004 And the mixt 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?
04:011:005 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the
cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the
garlick:
04:011:006 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all,
beside this manna, before our eyes.
04:011:007 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof
as the colour of bdellium.
04:011:008 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.
04:011:009 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it.
04:011:010 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.
04:011:011 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted
thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that
thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
04:011:012 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?
04:011:013 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for
they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
04:011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is
too heavy for me.
