   Numbers Chapter 11   
      
   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 now 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.   
      
   16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the   
   elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and   
   officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the   
   congregation, that they may stand there with thee.   
      
   17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the   
   spirit which is upon 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.   
      
   18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow,   
   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 well with us in   
   Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.   
      
   19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten   
   days, nor twenty days;   
      
   20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be   
   loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is   
   among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?   
      
   21 And 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.   
      
   22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or   
   shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice   
   them?   
      
   23 And 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.   
      
   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.   
      
   25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of   
   the spirit that was upon 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.   
      
   26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one   
   was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon   
   them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the   
   tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.   
      
   27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad   
   do prophesy in the camp.   
      
   28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young   
   men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.   
      
   29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all   
   the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit   
   upon them!   
      
   30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.   
      
   31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from   
   the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on   
   this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about   
   the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.   
      
   32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the   
   next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered   
   ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about   
   the camp.   
      
   33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed,   
   the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote   
   the people with a very great plague.   
      
   34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there   
   they buried the people that lusted.   
      
   35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and   
   abode at Hazeroth.   
      
   Numbers Chapter 12   
      
   1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian   
   woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.   
      
   2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not   
   spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.   
      
   3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon   
   the face of the earth.)   
      
   4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto   
   Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And   
   they three came out.   
      
   5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the   
   door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came   
   forth.   
      
   6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the   
   LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto   
   him in a dream.   
      
   7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.   
      
   8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark   
   speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then   
   were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?   
      
   9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
