1 ¶ And it came to pass that the people complained in an evil manner in the ears of the LORD, and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burnt among them and consumed in the uttermost parts of the camp.

And the people is evil, as those sighing habitually in the ears of Jehovah, and Jehovah heareth, and His anger burneth, and the fire of Jehovah burneth among them, and consumeth in the extremity of the camp.

2 T hen the people cried unto Moses, and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.

And the people cry unto Moses, and Moses prayeth unto Jehovah, and the fire is quenched;

3 A nd he called the name of the place Taberah because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.

and he calleth the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of Jehovah hath `burned' among them.

4 ¶ And the vulgar who were mixed in among them returned to their lust; and even the sons of Israel wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

And the rabble who in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, `Who doth give us flesh?

5 W e remember the fish, which we freely ate in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,

We have remembered the fish which we do eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick;

6 b ut now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all besides this manna before our eyes.

and now our soul dry, there is not anything, save the manna, before our eyes.'

7 A nd the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the aspect of bdolach;

8 A nd the people scattered 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.

the people have turned aside and gathered, and ground with millstones, or beat in a mortar, and boiled in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste hath been as the taste of the moisture of oil.

9 A nd when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna descendeth upon it.

10 T hen Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, each man in the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

And Moses heareth the people weeping by its families, each at the opening of his tent, and the anger of Jehovah burneth exceedingly, and in the eyes of Moses evil.

11 A nd Moses said unto the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy slave and why have I not found grace in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all these people upon me?

And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Why hast Thou done evil to Thy servant? and why have I not found grace in Thine eyes -- to put the burden of all this people upon me?

12 H ave I conceived all these people? Have I begotten them, that thou should say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurse carries a sucking child, unto the land which thou hast sworn unto their fathers?

I -- have I conceived all this people? I -- have I begotten it, that Thou sayest unto me, Carry it in thy bosom as the nursing father beareth the suckling, unto the ground which Thou hast sworn to its fathers?

13 W here should I find flesh to give unto all these people? For they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat.

Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give to us flesh, and we eat.

14 I am not able to bear all these people alone because it is too heavy for me.

I am not able -- I alone -- to bear all this people, for too heavy for me;

15 A nd if thou must deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found grace in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

and if thus Thou art doing to me -- slay me, I pray Thee; slay, if I have found grace in thine eyes, and let me not look on mine affliction.'

16 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be elders of the people, and their princes; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the testimony that they may stand there with thee.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou hast known that they are elders of the people, and its authorities; and thou hast taken them unto the tent of meeting, and they have stationed themselves there with thee,

17 A nd I will come down and talk with thee there, and I will take of the spirit which is in 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.

and I have come down and spoken with thee there, and have kept back of the Spirit which upon thee, and have put on them, and they have borne with thee some of the burden of the people, and thou dost not bear thyself alone.

18 B ut thou shalt say unto the people, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, 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 better with us in Egypt. Therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

`And unto the people thou dost say, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow, and ye have eaten flesh (for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who doth give us flesh? for we good in Egypt) -- and Jehovah hath given to you flesh, and ye have eaten.

19 Y e shall not eat one day nor two days nor five days neither ten days nor twenty days,

Ye do not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days; --

20 B ut even a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and it becomes loathsome unto you, because ye have despised the LORD who is among you and have wept before him, saying, Why have we come forth out of Egypt?

unto a month of days, till that it come out from your nostrils, and it hath become to you an abomination; because that ye have loathed Jehovah, who in your midst, and weep before Him, saying, Why is this? -- we have come out of Egypt!'

21 T hen 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!

And Moses saith, `Six hundred thousand footmen the people in whose midst I; and Thou, Thou hast said, Flesh I give to them, and they have eaten, a month of days!

22 S hall sheep and oxen be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

Is flock and herd slaughtered for them, that one hath found for them? -- are all the fishes of the sea gathered for them -- that one hath found for them?'

23 T hen 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.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Is the hand of Jehovah become short? now thou dost see whether My word meeteth thee or not.'

24 ¶ 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.

And Moses goeth out, and speaketh unto the people the words of Jehovah, and gathereth seventy men of the elders of the people, and causeth them to stand round about the tent,

25 T hen the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke unto him and took of the spirit that was in 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.

and Jehovah cometh down in the cloud, and speaketh unto him, and keepeth back of the Spirit which on him, and putteth on the seventy men of the elders; and it cometh to pass at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and do not cease.

26 B ut there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad and the name of the other Medad, upon whom the spirit also rested; and they were of those that were written, but they had not gone unto the tabernacle; and they began to prophesy in the camp.

And two of the men are left in the camp, the name of the one Eldad, and the name of the second Medad, and the spirit resteth upon them, (and they are among those written, and have not gone out to the tent), and they prophesy in the camp;

27 A nd a young man ran and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.

and the young man runneth, and declareth to Moses, and saith, `Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'

28 T hen Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

And Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, of his young men, answereth and saith, `My lord Moses, restrain them.'

29 A nd Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? It would be good that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

And Moses saith to him, `Art thou zealous for me? O that all Jehovah's people were prophets! that Jehovah would put His Spirit upon them!'

30 A nd Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

And Moses is gathered unto the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31 ¶ And there went forth a wind from the LORD and brought quail from the sea and left them upon the camp, a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp and almost two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

And a spirit hath journeyed from Jehovah, and cutteth off quails from the sea, and leaveth by the camp, as a day's journey here, and as a day's journey there, round about the camp, and about two cubits, on the face of the land.

32 T hen the people stood up all that day and all that night and all the next day, and they gathered the quail; he that gathered least gathered ten heaps, and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

And the people rise all that day, and all the night, and all the day after, and gather the quails -- he who hath least hath gathered ten homers -- and they spread them out for themselves round about the camp.

33 A nd while the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

The flesh is yet between their teeth -- it is not yet cut off -- and the anger of Jehovah hath burned among the people, and Jehovah smiteth among the people -- a very great smiting;

34 A nd he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah because there they buried the people that lusted.

and calleth the name of that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, for there they have buried the people who lust.

35 F rom Kibrothhattaavah he moved the people unto Hazeroth, and they abode at Hazeroth.

From Kibroth-Hattaavah have the people journeyed to Hazeroth, and they are in Hazeroth.
