be loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh
who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came
we forth out of Egypt?
011:021 Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred
thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh,
that they may eat a whole month.
011:022 Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them?
or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them,
to suffice them?
011:023 Yahweh said to Moses, Has Yahweh's hand grown short? now shall
you see whether my word shall happen to you or not.
011:024 Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh:
and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people,
and set them round about the Tent.
011:025 Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of
the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders:
and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them,
they prophesied, but they did so no more.
011:026 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad,
and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them;
and they were of those who were written, but had not gone
out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
011:027 There ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad
do prophesy in the camp.
011:028 Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his
chosen men, answered, My lord Moses, forbid them.
011:029 Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake?
I wish that all Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh
would put his Spirit on them!
011:030 Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
011:031 There went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails
from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's
journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side,
round about the camp, and about two cubits above the surface
of the earth.
011:032 The people rose up all that day, and all the night,
and all the next day, and gathered the quails:
he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread
them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
011:033 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed,
the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh
struck the people with a very great plague.
011:034 The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there
they buried the people who lusted.
011:035 From Kibrothhattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth;
and they abode at Hazeroth.
012:001 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite
woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
012:002 They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he
spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it.
