Numbers 11:10 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Soon the people began to complain about their hardship, and the LORD heard everything they said. Then the LORD's anger blazed against them, and he sent a fire to rage among them, and he destroyed some of the people in the outskirts of the camp.
2 Then the people screamed to Moses for help, and when he prayed to the LORD, the fire stopped.
3 After that, the area was known as Taberah (which means "the place of burning"), because fire from the LORD had burned among them there.
4 Then the foreign rabble who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain. "Oh, for some meat!" they exclaimed.
5 "We remember the fish we used to eat for free in Egypt. And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic we wanted.
6 But now our appetites are gone. All we ever see is this manna!"
7 The manna looked like small coriander seeds, and it was pale yellow like gum resin.
8 The people would go out and gather it from the ground. They made flour by grinding it with hand mills or pounding it in mortars. Then they boiled it in a pot and made it into flat cakes. These cakes tasted like pastries baked with olive oil.
9 The manna came down on the camp with the dew during the night.
10 Moses heard all the families standing in the doorways of their tents whining, and the LORD became extremely angry. Moses was also very aggravated.
11 And Moses said to the LORD, "Why are you treating me, your servant, so harshly? Have mercy on me! What did I do to deserve the burden of all these people?
12 Did I give birth to them? Did I bring them into the world? Why did you tell me to carry them in my arms like a mother carries a nursing baby? How can I carry them to the land you swore to give their ancestors?
13 Where am I supposed to get meat for all these people? They keep whining to me, saying, 'Give us meat to eat!'
14 I can't carry all these people by myself! The load is far too heavy!
15 If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!"
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Gather before me seventy men who are recognized as elders and leaders of Israel. Bring them to the Tabernacle to stand there with you.
17 I will come down and talk to you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is upon you, and I will put the Spirit upon them also. They will bear the burden of the people along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.
18 "And say to the people, 'Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat. You were whining, and the LORD heard you when you cried, "Oh, for some meat! We were better off in Egypt!" Now the LORD will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.
19 And it won't be for just a day or two, or for five or ten or even twenty.
20 You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it. For you have rejected the LORD, who is here among you, and you have whined to him, saying, "Why did we ever leave Egypt?" '"
21 But Moses responded to the LORD, "There are 600,000 foot soldiers here with me, and yet you say, 'I will give them meat for a whole month!'
22 Even if we butchered all our flocks and herds, would that satisfy them? Even if we caught all the fish in the sea, would that be enough?"
23 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!"
24 So Moses went out and reported the LORD's words to the people. He gathered the seventy elders and stationed them around the Tabernacle.
25 And the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. Then he gave the seventy elders the same Spirit that was upon Moses. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But this never happened again.
26 Two men, Eldad and Medad, had stayed behind in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but they had not gone out to the Tabernacle. Yet the Spirit rested upon them as well, so they prophesied there in the camp.
27 A young man ran and reported to Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!"
28 Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since his youth, protested, "Moses, my master, make them stop!"
29 But Moses replied, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit upon them all!"
30 Then Moses returned to the camp with the elders of Israel.
31 Now the LORD sent a wind that brought quail from the sea and let them fall all around the camp. For miles in every direction there were quail flying about three feet above the ground.
32 So the people went out and caught quail all that day and throughout the night and all the next day, too. No one gathered less than fifty bushels! They spread the quail all around the camp to dry.
33 But while they were gorging themselves on the meat-- while it was still in their mouths-- the anger of the LORD blazed against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.
34 So that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah (which means "graves of gluttony") because there they buried the people who had craved meat from Egypt.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the Israelites traveled to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
1 And when the people H5971 complained H596 , it displeased H7451 AMS the LORD H3068 EDS : and the LORD H3068 EDS heard H8085 it ; and his anger H639 CMS-3MS was kindled H2734 W-VQY3MS ; and the fire H784 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS burnt H1197 W-VQY3FS among them , and consumed H398 W-VQY3FS them that were in the uttermost parts H7097 of the camp H4264 .
2 And the people H5971 cried H6817 unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 ; and when Moses H4872 prayed H6419 W-VTY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , the fire H784 was quenched H8257 .
3 And he called H7121 W-VQY3MS the name H8034 of the place H4725 D-NMS Taberah H8404 : because H3588 CONJ the fire H784 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS burnt H1197 among them .
4 And the mixed multitude H628 that H834 RPRO was among H7130 them fell a lusting H183 : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 also H1571 CONJ wept H1058 W-VQY3MP again H7725 W-VUY3MP , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , Who H4310 IPRO shall give us flesh H1320 NMS to eat H398 ?
5 We remember H2142 the fish H1710 , which H834 RPRO we did eat H398 in Egypt H4714 freely H2600 ADV ; the cucumbers H7180 , and the melons H20 , and the leeks H2682 , and the onions H1211 , and the garlic H7762 :
6 But now H6258 W-ADV our soul H5315 is dried away H3002 : there is nothing H369 NPAR at all H3605 NMS , beside H1115 PREP this manna H4478 , before our eyes H5869 .
7 And the manna H4478 was as coriander H1407 seed H2233 , and the color H5869 thereof as the color H5869 of bedellium H916 .
8 And the people H5971 went about H7751 , and gathered H3950 it , and ground H2912 it in mills H7347 , or H176 CONJ beat H1743 it in a mortar H4085 , and baked H1310 it in pans H6517 , and made H6213 W-VQQ3MP cakes H5692 of it : and the taste H2940 of it was H1961 W-VQQ3MS as the taste H2940 of fresh H3955 oil H8081 .
9 And when the dew H2919 fell H3381 upon H5921 PREP the camp H4264 in the night H3915 NFS , the manna H4478 fell H3381 upon H5921 PREP it .
10 Then Moses H4872 heard H8085 the people H5971 weep H1058 throughout their families H4940 , every man H376 NMS in the door H6607 of his tent H168 : and the anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS was kindled H2734 greatly H3966 ADV ; Moses H4872 also was displeased H5869 .
11 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , Wherefore H4100 L-IGAT hast thou afflicted H7489 thy servant H5650 ? and wherefore H4100 WL-IGAT have I not H3808 NADV found H4672 favor H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 , that thou layest H7760 L-VQFC the burden H4853 of all H3605 NMS this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 upon H5921 me ?
12 Have I H595 D-PPRO-1MS conceived H2030 all H3605 NMS this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 ? have I H595 PPRO-1MS begotten H3205 them , that H3588 CONJ thou shouldest say H559 VQY2MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , Carry H5375 them in thy bosom H2436 , as H834 RPRO a nursing father H539 beareth H5375 VQY3MS the sucking child H3243 , unto H5921 PREP the land H127 D-NFS which H834 RPRO thou sworest H7650 unto their fathers H1 ?
13 Whence H370 M-ADV should I have flesh H1320 NMS to give H5414 L-VQFC unto all H3605 L-CMS this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 ? for H3588 CONJ they weep H1058 unto H5921 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC , Give H5414 us flesh H1320 NMS , that we may eat H398 .
14 I H595 PPRO-1MS am not able H3201 to bear H5375 all H3605 NMS this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 alone H905 L-CMS-1MS , because H3588 CONJ it is too heavy H3515 AMS for H4480 PREP-1MS me .
15 And if H518 PART thou H859 deal H6213 VQPMS thus H3602 ADV with me , kill H2026 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , out of hand H2026 , if H518 PART I have found H4672 VQQ1MS favor H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 ; and let me not H408 W-NPAR see H7200 VQY1MS my wretchedness H7451 .
16 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , Gather H622 unto me seventy H7657 ONUM men H376 NMS of the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , whom H834 RPRO thou knowest H3045 VQQ2MS to be the elders H2205 of the people H5971 , and officers H7860 over them ; and bring H3947 them unto H413 PREP the tabernacle H168 NMS of the congregation H4150 NMS , that they may stand H3320 there H8033 ADV with H5973 PREP-2FS thee .
17 And I will come down H3381 and talk H1696 with H5973 PREP-2MS thee there H8033 ADV : and I will take H680 of H4480 PREP the spirit H7307 which H834 RPRO is upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , and will put H7760 W-VQQ1MS it upon H5921 PREP-3MP them ; and they shall bear H5375 the burden H4853 of the people H5971 with H854 PART-2MS thee , that thou H859 PPRO-2MS bear H5375 VQY2MS it not H3808 W-NPAR thyself alone H905 .
18 And say H559 thou unto H413 W-PREP the people H5971 , Sanctify yourselves H6942 against tomorrow H4279 , and ye shall eat H398 flesh H1320 NMS : for H3588 CONJ ye have wept H1058 in the ears H241 of the LORD H3068 EDS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Who H4310 IPRO shall give us flesh H1320 NMS to eat H398 ? for H3588 CONJ it was well H2895 with us in Egypt H4714 : therefore the LORD H3068 EDS will give H5414 W-VQQ3MS you flesh H1320 NMS , and ye shall eat H398 .
19 Ye shall not H3808 NADV eat H398 one H259 MMS day H3117 NMS , nor H3808 W-NADV two days H3117 NUM-MS , nor H3808 W-NADV five H2568 days H3117 NUM-MS , neither H3808 W-NADV ten H6235 days H3117 NUM-MS , nor H3808 W-NADV twenty H6242 days H3117 NUM-MS ;
20 But even H5704 PREP a whole H3117 NMP month H2320 , until H5704 PREP it come out H3318 VQY3MS at your nostrils H639 , and it be H1961 W-VQQ3MS loathsome H2214 unto you : because H3282 ADV that H3588 CONJ ye have despised H3988 the LORD H3068 EDS which H834 RPRO is among H7130 you , and have wept H1058 before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him , saying H559 L-VQFC , Why H4100 L-IPRO came we forth H3318 out of Egypt H4714 ?
21 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS , The people H5971 , among H7130 whom H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS am , are six H8337 RFS hundred H3967 BFP thousand H505 W-BMS footmen H7273 ; and thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS hast said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will give H5414 VQY1MS them flesh H1320 NMS , that they may eat H398 a whole H3117 NMP month H2320 .
22 Shall the flocks H6629 and the herds H1241 W-NMS be slain H7819 for them , to suffice H4672 them ? or H518 PART shall all H3605 NMS the fish H1709 CMP of the sea H3220 D-NMS be gathered together H622 VNY3MS for them , to suffice H4672 them ?
23 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , Is the LORD H3068 EDS \'s hand H3027 waxed short H7114 ? thou shalt see H7200 VQY2MS now H6258 ADV whether my word H1697 CMS-1MS shall come to pass H7136 unto thee or H518 PART not H3808 ADV .
24 And Moses H4872 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS , and told H1696 W-VPY3MS the people H5971 the words H1697 CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , and gathered H622 the seventy H7657 ONUM men H376 of the elders H2205 of the people H5971 , and set H5975 them round about H5439 the tabernacle H168 .
25 And the LORD H3068 EDS came down H3381 W-VQY3MS in a cloud H6051 , and spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and took H680 of H4480 PREP the spirit H7307 that H834 RPRO was upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS it unto H5921 PREP-3MS the seventy H7657 ONUM elders H376 NMS : and it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that , when the spirit H7307 rested H5117 upon H5921 PREP-3MS them , they prophesied H5012 , and did not H3808 W-NPAR cease H3254 .
26 But there remained H7604 two H8147 of the men H376 NMP in the camp H4264 , the name H8034 CMS of the one H259 was Eldad H419 , and the name H8034 W-CMS of the other H8145 D-ONUM Medad H4312 : and the spirit H7307 rested H5117 W-VQY3FS upon H5921 PREP-3MP them ; and they H1992 were of them that were written H3789 , but went not out H3318 VQQ3MP unto the tabernacle H168 : and they prophesied H5012 in the camp H4264 .
27 And there ran H7323 a young man H5288 , and told H5046 W-VHY3MS Moses H4872 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Eldad H419 and Medad H4312 do prophesy H5012 in the camp H4264 .
28 And Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 , the servant H8334 of Moses H4872 , one of his young men H979 , answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , My lord H113 Moses H4872 , forbid H3607 them .
29 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Enviest H7065 thou H859 PPRO-2MS for my sake ? would God H4310 W-IPRO that all H3605 NMS the LORD H3068 EDS \'s people H5971 NMS were prophets H5030 , and that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS would put H5414 VHFA his spirit H7307 CMS-3MS upon H5921 PREP-3MP them !
30 And Moses H4872 got H622 him into H413 PREP the camp H4264 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 LMS .
31 And there went forth H5265 a wind H7307 W-GFS from the LORD H3068 EDS , and brought H1468 quails H7958 from H4480 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS , and let them fall H5203 by H5921 PREP the camp H4264 , as it were a day H3117 NMS \'s journey H1870 on this side H3541 , and as it were a day H3117 NMS \'s journey H1870 on the other side H3541 , round about H5439 ADV the camp H4264 , and as it were two cubits H520 high upon H5921 PREP the face H6440 CMP of the earth H776 D-GFS .
32 And the people H5971 stood up H6965 W-VQY3MS all H3605 NMS that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 NUM-MS , and all H3605 NMS that night H3915 D-AMS , and all H3605 NMS the next H4283 day H3117 NMS , and they gathered H622 the quails H7958 : he that gathered least H4591 gathered H622 ten H6235 homers H2563 : and they spread them all abroad H7849 for themselves round about H5439 ADV the camp H4264 .
33 And while the flesh H1320 D-NMS was yet H5750 between H996 PREP their teeth H8127 , ere H2962 ADV it was chewed H3772 VNI3MS , the wrath H639 of the LORD H3068 EDS was kindled H2734 VQQ3MS against the people H5971 , and the LORD H3068 EDS smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the people H5971 with a very H3966 ADV great H7227 AFS plague H4347 .
34 And he called H7121 W-VQY3MS the name H8034 of that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS place H4725 D-NMS Kibroth H6914 - hattaavah : because H3588 CONJ there H8033 ADV they buried H6912 the people H5971 that lusted H183 .
35 And the people H5971 journeyed H5265 from Kibroth H6914 - hattaavah unto Hazeroth H2698 ; and abode H1961 W-VQY3MP at Hazeroth H2698 .
