011:013 Where should I get meat to give to all this people? for they
weep to me, saying, Give us meat, that we may eat.
011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is
too heavy for me.
011:015 If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have
found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
011:016 Yahweh said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders
of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people,
and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting,
that they may stand there with you.
011:017 I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take
of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them;
and they shall bear the burden of the people with you,
that you not bear it yourself alone.
011:018 Say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow,
and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears
of Yahweh, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was
well with us in Egypt: therefore Yahweh will give you flesh,
and you shall eat.
011:019 You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days,
