04:011:015 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of
hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my
wretchedness.
04:011:016 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.
04:011:017 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.
04:011:018 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.
04:011:019 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days,
neither ten days, nor twenty days;
04:011:020 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?
04:011:021 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.
04:011:022 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?
04:011:023 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.
04:011:024 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.
04:011:025 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.
04:011:026 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.
04:011:027 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad
and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
04:011:028 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his
young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
04:011:029 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!
04:011:030 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of
Israel.
