[1] The people were complaining in the ears of Yahweh. When Yahweh heard it, his anger burned; and Yahweh’s fire burned among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. [2] The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated. [3] The name of that place was called Taberah,ⓘ because Yahweh’s fire burned among them. [4] The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us meat to eat? [5] We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic; [6] but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.” [7] The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.ⓘ [8] The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil. [9] When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it. [10] Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and Yahweh’s anger burned greatly; and Moses was displeased. [11] Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? [12] Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’? [13] Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ [14] I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. [15] If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.” [16] Yahweh 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 stand there with you. [17] I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself alone. [18] “Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat. [19] You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days, [20] but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?” ’ ” [21] Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.’ [22] Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?” [23] Yahweh said to Moses, “Has Yahweh’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.” [24] Moses went out, and told the people Yahweh’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent. [25] Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more. [26] 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 of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. [27] A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!” [28] Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!” [29] Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh’s people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!” [30] Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. [31] A wind from Yahweh went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubitsⓘ above the surface of the earth. [32] The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers;ⓘ and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp. [33] While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, Yahweh’s anger burned against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague. [34] The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah,ⓘ because there they buried the people who lusted. [35] From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.

Discontent

[1] And when the people H5971 complained, H596 (HithPtc)§ it displeased H7451 the§ Lord: H3068 and the Lord H3068 heard H8085 (QalImpf) it; and his anger H639 was kindled; H2734 (QalImpf) and the fire H784 of the Lord H3068 burnt H1197 (QalImpf) among them, and consumed H398 (QalImpf) them that were in the uttermost parts H7097 of the camp. H4264 [2] And the people H5971 cried H6817 (QalImpf) unto Moses; H4872 and when Moses H4872 prayed H6419 (HithImpf) unto the Lord, H3068 the fire H784 was quenched. H8257 (QalImpf)§ [3] And he called H7121 (QalImpf) the name H8034 of the H1931 place H4725 Taberah: H8404ⓘ because the fire H784 of the Lord H3068 burnt H1197 (QalPerf) among them. [4] And the mixt multitude H628 that was among H7130 them fell a lusting: H183 (HithPerf)§ and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 also wept H1058 (QalImpf) again, H7725 (QalImpf)§ and said, H559 (QalImpf) Who shall give us flesh H1320 to eat? H398 (HiphImpf) [5] We remember H2142 (QalPerf) the fish, H1710 which we did eat H398 (QalImpf) in Egypt H4714 freely; H2600 the cucumbers, H7180 and the melons, H20 and the leeks, H2682 and the onions, H1211 and the garlick: H7762 [6] but now our soul H5315 is dried away: H3002 there is nothing at all, beside H1115 this manna, H4478 before our eyes. H5869 [7] And the manna H4478 was as coriander H1407 seed, H2233 and the colour H5869 thereof as the colour H5869 of bdellium. H916 [8] And the people H5971 went about, H7751 (QalPerf) and gathered H3950 (QalPerf) it, and ground H2912 (QalPerf) it in mills, H7347 or beat H1743 (QalPerf) it in a mortar, H4085 and baked H1310 (PielPerf) it in pans, H6517 and made H6213 (QalPerf) cakes H5692 of it: and the taste H2940 of it was as the taste H2940 of fresh H3955 oil. H8081 [9] And when the dew H2919 fell H3381 (QalInf) upon the camp H4264 in the night, H3915 the manna H4478 fell H3381 (QalImpf) upon it. [10] Then Moses H4872 heard H8085 (QalImpf) the people H5971 weep H1058 (QalActPtc) throughout their families, H4940 every man H376 in the door H6607 of his tent: H168 and the anger H639 of the Lord H3068 was kindled H2734 (QalImpf) greatly; H3966 Moses H4872 also was displeased. H7489 (QalPerf) [11] And Moses H4872 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the Lord, H3068 Wherefore hast thou afflicted H7489 (HiphPerf) thy servant? H5650 and wherefore have I not found H4672 (QalPerf) favour H2580 in thy sight, H5869 that thou layest H7760 (QalInf) the burden H4853 of all this people H5971 upon me? [12] Have I conceived H2029 (QalPerf) all this people? H5971 have I begotten H3205 (QalPerf) them, that thou shouldest say H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Carry H5375 (QalImpv) them in thy bosom, H2436 as a nursing father H539 (QalActPtc) beareth H5375 (QalImpf) the sucking child, H3243 (QalActPtc) unto the land H127 which thou swarest H7650 (NiphPerf) unto their fathers? H1 [13] Whence H370 should I have flesh H1320 to give H5414 (QalInf) unto all this people? H5971 for they weep H1058 (QalImpf) unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) Give H5414 (QalImpv) us flesh, H1320 that we may eat. H398 (QalImpf) [14] I am not able H3201 (QalImpf) to bear H5375 (QalInf) all this people H5971 alone, H905 because it is too heavy H3515 for me. [15] And if thou deal H6213 (QalActPtc) thus with me, kill H2026 (QalImpv) me, I pray thee, out of hand, H2026 (QalInf) if I have found H4672 (QalPerf) favour H2580 in thy sight; H5869 and let me not see H7200 (QalImpf) my wretchedness. H7451 [16] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 Gather H622 (QalImpv) unto me seventy H7657 men H376 of the elders H2205 of Israel, H3478 whom thou knowest H3045 (QalPerf) to be the elders H2205 of the people, H5971 and officers H7860 (QalActPtc) over them; and bring H3947 (QalPerf) them unto the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150 that they may stand H3320 (HithPerf) there with thee. [17] And I will come down H3381 (QalPerf) and talk H1696 (PielPerf) with thee there: and I will take H680 (QalPerf) of the spirit H7307 which is upon thee, and will put H7760 (QalPerf) it upon them; and they shall bear H5375 (QalPerf) the burden H4853 of the people H5971 with thee, that thou bear H5375 (QalImpf) it not thyself alone. [18] And say H559 (QalImpf) thou unto the people, H5971 Sanctify H6942 (HithImpv) yourselves against to morrow, H4279 and ye shall eat H398 (QalPerf) flesh: H1320 for ye have wept H1058 (QalPerf) in the ears H241 of the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 (QalInf) Who shall give us flesh H1320 to eat? H398 (HiphImpf) for it was well H2895 (QalPerf) with us in Egypt: H4714 therefore the Lord H3068 will give H5414 (QalPerf) you flesh, H1320 and ye shall eat. H398 (QalPerf) [19] Ye shall not eat H398 (QalImpf) one H259 day, H3117 nor two days, H3117 nor five H2568 days, H3117 neither ten H6235 days, H3117 nor twenty H6242 days; H3117 [20] but even a whole month,§ H2320 until it come out H3318 (QalImpf) at your nostrils, H639 and it be loathsome H2214 unto you: because H3282 that ye have despised H3988 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 which is among H7130 you, and have wept H1058 (QalImpf) before H6440 him, saying, H559 (QalInf) Why came we forth H3318 (QalPerf) out of Egypt? H4714 [21] And Moses H4872 said, H559 (QalImpf) The people, H5971 among H7130 whom I am, are six H8337 hundred H3967 thousand H505 footmen; H7273 and thou hast said, H559 (QalPerf) I will give H5414 (QalImpf) them flesh, H1320 that they may eat H398 (QalPerf) a whole H3117 month. H2320 [22] Shall the flocks H6629 and the herds H1241 be slain H7819 (NiphImpf) for them, to suffice H4672 (QalPerf) them? or shall all the fish H1709 of the sea H3220 be gathered together H622 (NiphImpf) for them, to suffice H4672 (QalPerf) them? [23] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 Is the Lord’s H3068 hand H3027 waxed short? H7114 (QalImpf) thou shalt see H7200 (QalImpf) now whether my word H1697 shall come to pass H7136 (QalImpf) unto thee or not. [24] And Moses H4872 went out, H3318 (QalImpf) and told H1696 (PielImpf) the people H5971 the words H1697 of the Lord, H3068 and gathered H622 (QalImpf) the seventy H7657 men H376 of the elders H2205 of the people, H5971 and set H5975 (HiphImpf) them round about H5439 the tabernacle. H168 [25] And the Lord H3068 came down H3381 (QalImpf) in a cloud, H6051 and spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto him, and took H680 (HiphImpf) of the spirit H7307 that was upon him, and gave H5414 (QalImpf) it unto the seventy H7657 elders: H2205 and it came to pass, that, when the spirit H7307 rested H5117 (QalInf) upon them, they prophesied, H5012 (HithImpf) and did not cease. H3254 (QalPerf) [26] But there remained H7604 (NiphImpf) two H8147 of the men H582 in the camp, H4264 the name H8034 of the one H259 was Eldad, H419 and the name H8034 of the other H8145 Medad: H4312 and the spirit H7307 rested H5117 (QalImpf) upon them; and they were of them that were written, H3789 (QalPasPtc) but went not out H3318 (QalPerf) unto the tabernacle: H168 and they prophesied H5012 (HithImpf) in the camp. H4264 [27] And there ran H7323 (QalImpf) a young man, H5288 and told H5046 (HiphImpf) Moses, H4872 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Eldad H419 and Medad H4312 do prophesy H5012 (HithPtc) in the camp. H4264 [28] And Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 the servant H8334 (PielPtc) of Moses, H4872 one of his young men, H979 answered H6030 (QalImpf) and said, H559 (QalImpf) My lord H113 Moses, H4872 forbid H3607 (QalImpv) them. [29] And Moses H4872 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Enviest H7065 (PielPtc) thou for my sake? would God that all the H5414 (QalImpf) Lord’s H3068 people H5971 were prophets, H5030 and that the Lord H3068 would put H5414 (QalImpf) his spirit H7307 upon them! [30] And Moses H4872 gat H622 (NiphImpf) him into the camp, H4264 he and the elders H2205 of Israel. H3478

Quails from the Sea

[31] And there went forth H5265 (QalPerf) a wind H7307 from the Lord, H3068 and brought H1468 (QalImpf) quails H7958 from the sea, H3220 and let them fall H5203 (QalImpf) by the camp, H4264 as it were a day’s H3117 journey H1870 on this side, H3541 and as it were a day’s H3117 journey H1870 on the other side, H3541 round about H5439 the camp, H4264 and as it were two cubits H520 high upon the face H6440 of the earth. H776 [32] And the people H5971 stood up H6965 (QalImpf) all that day, H3117 and all that night, H3915 and all the next H4283 day, H3117 and they gathered H622 (QalImpf) the quails: H7958 he that gathered least H4591 (HiphPtc) gathered H622 (QalPerf) ten H6235 homers: H2563 and they spread H7849 (QalImpf) them all abroad H7849 (QalInf) for themselves round about H5439 the camp. H4264 [33] And while the flesh H1320 was yet H2962 between their teeth, H8127 ere it was chewed, H3772 (NiphImpf) the wrath H639 of the Lord H3068 was kindled H2734 (QalPerf) against the people, H5971 and the Lord H3068 smote H5221 (HiphImpf) the people H5971 with a very H3966 great H7227 plague. H4347 [34] And he called H7121 (QalImpf) the name H8034 of that place H4725 Kibroth-hattaavah: H6914ⓘ because there they buried H6912 (QalPerf) the people H5971 that lusted. H183 (HithPtc) [35] And the people H5971 journeyed H5265 (QalPerf) from Kibroth-hattaavah H6914 unto Hazeroth; H2698 and abode at§ Hazeroth. H2698
