   1) Numbers 11, Numbers 12, Numbers 13   
      
   NUMBERS 11   
      
   Complaints in the Desert   
      
   1 (Lev 10:2; Nu 16:35) Now when the people complained openly before the Lord,   
   the Lord heard, and His anger burned. Then the fire of the Lord burned among   
   them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.   
   2 (Nu 21:7; 16:45-48) And the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed   
   to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.   
   3 (Dt 9:22) He called the name of the place Taberah   
   because the fire of the Lord burned among them.   
   4 (Ex 12:38; 1Co 10:6) The mixed multitude that was among them lusted,   
   and the children of Israel wept again and said,   
   "Who will give us meat to eat?   
   5 (Ex 16:3) We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for free,   
   the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.   
   6 (Nu 21:5) But now our life is dried up. There is nothing at all except   
   this manna before our eyes."   
   7 (Ex 16:31; Ge 2:12) The manna was as coriander seed,   
   and it looked like bdellium.   
   8 (Ex 16:16-18; 16:31) The people went about and gathered it,   
   and ground it in mills or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in pots,   
   and made cakes of it, and the taste of   
   it was like the taste of cakes baked in oil.   
   9 (Ex 16:13-14) When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna fell on it.   
   10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in   
   the opening of his tent, and the anger of the Lord burned greatly.   
   Moses was also displeased.   
   11 (Dt 1:12) Moses said to the Lord, "Why have You hurt Your servant?   
   And why have I not found favor in Your eyes, that You lay the burden   
   of all this people on me?   
   12 (Ex 13:5; Isa 49:23) Have I conceived all this people? Have I given   
   them birth, that You should say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom, as a   
   nurse bears the nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers?   
   13 (Mt 15:33; Mk 8:4) Where am I to get meat to give to all these people?   
   For they weep to me, saying, 'Give us meat, that we may eat.'   
   14 (Ex 18:18) I am not able to bear all these people alone,   
   because the burden is too heavy for me.   
   15 (1Ki 19:4; Jnh 4:3) If You do this to me, please kill me at once,   
   if I have found favor in Your eyes, and do not let me see my misery."   
      
   [1] And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD   
   heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among   
   them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.   
   [2] And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD,   
   the fire was quenched.   
   [3] And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the   
   LORD burnt among them.   
   [4] And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the   
   children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to   
   eat?   
   [5] We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,   
   and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:   
   [6] But our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna,   
   before our eyes.   
   [7] And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the   
   colour of bdellium.   
   [8] And the people went 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.   
   [9] And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.   
   [10] Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man   
   in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly;   
   Moses also was displeased.   
   [11] And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy   
   servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou   
   layest the burden of all this people upon me?   
   [12] Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou   
   shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth   
   the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?   
   [13] Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep   
   unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.   
   [14] I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy   
   for me.   
   [15] 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.   
      
   The Seventy Elders   
      
   16 (Ex 24:1; 24:9) Then the Lord 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 take a stand there with you.   
   17 (Nu 11:25; 1Sa 10:6) And I will come down, and I will speak with you there,   
   and I will take of the Spirit which is on you and will put it on them,   
   and they will bear the burden of the people with you, and you will not bear   
   it by yourself.   
   18 (Ex 19:10; Nu 11:1) "And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves   
   for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat, for you have wept in the hearing   
   of the Lord, saying, 'Who will give us meat to eat?   
   For it was better for us in Egypt.'   
   Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.   
   19 You shall eat, not one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days,   
   or twenty days,   
   20 (Ps 106:15; Nu 21:5) but a whole month, until it comes out   
   at your nostrils, and it will be nauseating to you because   
   you rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before Him,   
   saying, 'Why did we come out of Egypt?' "   
   21 (Ex 12:37; 38:26) And Moses said, "The people I am with number   
   600000 foot soldiers, and You have said,   
   'I will give them meat that they may eat a whole month.'   
   22 (Mt 15:33) Will the flocks and the herds be slaughtered for them,   
   to satisfy them? Or will all the fish of the sea be gathered together   
   for them, to satisfy them?"   
   23 (Isa 50:2; 59:1) And the Lord said to Moses,   
   "Is the hand of the Lord shortened? Now you will see   
   if My word will happen to you or not."   
   24 (Nu 11:16) Moses went out, and he spoke to the people the words   
   of the Lord and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people   
   and set them around the tabernacle.   
   25 (Nu 11:17; 12:5; 1Sa 10:10) And the Lord came down in a cloud,   
   and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him,   
   and gave it to the seventy elders, and when the Spirit rested on them,   
   they prophesied, but did not do it again.   
   26 (1Sa 20:26; Jer 36:5) But two men remained in the camp.   
   The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad.   
   And the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed,   
   but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.   
   27 And a young man ran and told Moses and said,   
   "Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp."   
   28 Then Joshua the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth,   
   answered and said, "My lord Moses, forbid them."
