Numbers 11:1 ¶
And when the people5971 complained,596{Or, were as it were complainers...} it displeased7451241 the{Heb. it was evil in the eyes of etc.} LORD:3068 and the LORD3068 heard8085it; and his anger639 was kindled;2734 and the fire784 of the LORD3068 burnt1197 among them, and consumed398themthatwere in the uttermost parts7097 of the camp.42642 And the people5971 cried6817 unto Moses;4872 and when Moses4872 prayed6419 unto the LORD,3068 the fire784 was quenched.8257{Heb. sunk}3 And he called7121 the name8034 of the1931 place4725 Taberah:8404{that is, a burning} because the fire784 of the LORD3068 burnt1197 among them.
Numbers 11:4 And the mixt multitude628 that was among7130 them fell a lusting:1838378{Heb. lusted a lust} and the children1121 of Israel3478 also wept1058 again,7725{Heb. returned and wept} and said,559 Who shall give us flesh1320 to eat?3985 We remember2142 the fish,1710 which we did eat398 in Egypt4714 freely;2600 the cucumbers,7180 and the melons,20 and the leeks,2682 and the onions,1211 and the garlick:77626 But now our soul5315is dried away:3002thereis nothing at all, beside1115 this manna,4478before our eyes.58697 And the manna4478was as coriander1407 seed,2233 and the colour5869 thereof{Heb. eye of it, as the eye of} as the colour5869 of bdellium.9168And the people5971 went about,7751 and gathered3950it, and ground2912it in mills,7347 or beat1743it in a mortar,4085 and baked1310it in pans,6517 and made6213 cakes5692 of it: and the taste2940 of it was as the taste2940 of fresh3955 oil.80819 And when the dew2919 fell3381 upon the camp4264 in the night,3915 the manna4478 fell3381 upon it.
Numbers 11:10 Then Moses4872 heard8085 the people5971 weep1058 throughout their families,4940 every man376 in the door6607 of his tent:168 and the anger639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 greatly;3966 Moses4872 also was displeased.7489586911 And Moses4872 said559 unto the LORD,3068 Wherefore hast thou afflicted7489 thy servant?5650 and wherefore have I not found4672 favour2580 in thy sight,5869 that thou layest7760 the burden4853 of all this people5971 upon me?
12 Have I conceived2029 all this people?5971 have I begotten3205 them, that thou shouldest say559 unto me, Carry5375 them in thy bosom,2436 as a nursing father539 beareth5375 the sucking child,3243 unto the land127 which thou swarest7650 unto their fathers?113 Whence370 should I have flesh1320 to give5414 unto all this people?5971 for they weep1058 unto me, saying,559 Give5414 us flesh,1320 that we may eat.39814 I am not able3201 to bear5375 all this people5971 alone,905 because itis too heavy3515 for me.
15 And if thou deal6213 thus with me, kill2026 me, I pray thee, out of hand,2026 if I have found4672 favour2580 in thy sight;5869 and let me not see7200 my wretchedness.7451
Numbers 11:16 And the LORD3068 said559 unto Moses,4872 Gather622 unto me seventy7657 men376 of the elders2205 of Israel,3478 whom thou knowest3045 to be the elders2205 of the people,5971 and officers7860 over them; and bring3947 them unto the tabernacle168 of the congregation,4150 that they may stand3320 there with thee.
17 And I will come down3381 and talk1696 with thee there: and I will take680 of the spirit7307 which is upon thee, and will put7760it upon them; and they shall bear5375 the burden4853 of the people5971 with thee, that thou bear5375it not thyself alone.
Numbers 11:18 And say559 thou unto the people,5971 Sanctify6942 yourselves against to morrow,4279 and ye shall eat398 flesh:1320 for ye have wept1058 in the ears241 of the LORD,3068 saying,559 Who shall give us flesh1320 to eat?398 for itwas well2895 with us in Egypt:4714 therefore the LORD3068 will give5414 you flesh,1320 and ye shall eat.39819 Ye shall not eat398 one259 day,3117 nor two days,3117 nor five2568 days,3117 neither ten6235 days,3117 nor twenty6242 days;311720But even a whole month,23203117{Heb. month of days} until it come out3318 at your nostrils,639 and it be loathsome2214 unto you: because3282 that ye have despised3988 the LORD3068 which is among7130 you, and have wept1058 before6440 him, saying,559 Why came we forth3318 out of Egypt?4714
Numbers 11:21 And Moses4872 said,559 The people,5971 among7130 whom I am,are six8337 hundred3967 thousand505 footmen;7273 and thou hast said,559 I will give5414 them flesh,1320 that they may eat398 a whole3117 month.232022 Shall the flocks6629 and the herds1241 be slain7819 for them, to suffice4672 them? or shall all the fish1709 of the sea3220 be gathered together622 for them, to suffice4672 them?
23 And the LORD3068 said559 unto Moses,4872 Is the LORD'S3068 hand3027 waxed short?7114 thou shalt see7200 now whether my word1697 shall come to pass7136 unto thee or not.
Numbers 11:24 And Moses4872 went out,3318 and told1696 the people5971 the words1697 of the LORD,3068 and gathered622 the seventy7657 men376 of the elders2205 of the people,5971 and set5975 them round about5439 the tabernacle.16825 And the LORD3068 came down3381 in a cloud,6051 and spake1696 unto him, and took680 of the spirit7307 that was upon him, and gave5414it unto the seventy7657 elders:2205376 and it came to pass, that, when the spirit7307 rested5117 upon them, they prophesied,5012 and did not cease.325426 But there remained7604 two8147ofthe men582 in the camp,4264 the name8034 of the one259was Eldad,419 and the name8034 of the other8145 Medad:4312 and the spirit7307 rested5117 upon them; and they were of them that were written,3789 but went not out3318 unto the tabernacle:168 and they prophesied5012 in the camp.426427 And there ran7323 a young man,5288 and told5046 Moses,4872 and said,559 Eldad419 and Medad4312 do prophesy5012 in the camp.426428 And Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 the servant8334 of Moses,4872one of his young men,979 answered6030 and said,559 My lord113 Moses,4872 forbid3607 them.
29 And Moses4872 said559 unto him, Enviest7065 thou for my sake? would God that all the5414 LORD'S3068 people5971 were prophets,5030and that the LORD3068 would put5414 his spirit7307 upon them!
30 And Moses4872 gat622 him into the camp,4264 he and the elders2205 of Israel.3478
Numbers 11:31 And there went forth5265 a wind7307 from the LORD,3068 and brought1468 quails7958 from the sea,3220 and let them fall5203 by the camp,4264 as it were a day's3117 journey1870{Heb. as it were the way of a day} on this side,3541 and as it were a day's3117 journey1870 on the other side,3541 round about5439 the camp,4264 and as it were two cubits520high upon the face6440 of the earth.77632 And the people5971 stood up6965 all that day,3117 and all that night,3915 and all the next4283 day,3117 and they gathered622 the quails:7958 he that gathered least4591 gathered622 ten6235 homers:2563 and they spread7849them all abroad7849 for themselves round about5439 the camp.426433 And while the flesh1320was yet2962 between their teeth,8127 ere it was chewed,3772 the wrath639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 against the people,5971 and the LORD3068 smote5221 the people5971 with a very3966 great7227 plague.434734 And he called7121 the name8034 of that place4725 Kibrothhattaavah:6914{that is, The graves of lust} because there they buried6912 the people5971 that lusted.18335And the people5971 journeyed5265 from Kibrothhattaavah6914 unto Hazeroth;2698 and abode at{Heb. they were in, etc.} Hazeroth.2698
