Numbers 11 (WEBP)

[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.

[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.

[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.

Numbers 11 (BYZ)

[1] και ην ο λαος γογγυζων πονηρα εναντι κυριου και ηκουσεν κυριος και εθυμωθη οργη και εξεκαυθη εν αυτοις πυρ παρα κυριου και κατεφαγεν μερος τι της παρεμβολης
[2] και εκεκραξεν ο λαος προς μωυσην και ηυξατο μωυσης προς κυριον και εκοπασεν το πυρ
[3] και εκληθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου εμπυρισμος οτι εξεκαυθη εν αυτοις πυρ παρα κυριου
[4] και ο επιμικτος ο εν αυτοις επεθυμησαν επιθυμιαν και καθισαντες εκλαιον και οι υιοι ισραηλ και ειπαν τις ημας ψωμιει κρεα
[5] εμνησθημεν τους ιχθυας ους ησθιομεν εν αιγυπτω δωρεαν και τους σικυας και τους πεπονας και τα πρασα και τα κρομμυα και τα σκορδα
[6] νυνι δε η ψυχη ημων καταξηρος ουδεν πλην εις το μαννα οι οφθαλμοι ημων
[7] το δε μαννα ωσει σπερμα κοριου εστιν και το ειδος αυτου ειδος κρυσταλλου
[8] και διεπορευετο ο λαος και συνελεγον και ηληθον αυτο εν τω μυλω και ετριβον εν τη θυια και ηψουν αυτο εν τη χυτρα και εποιουν αυτο εγκρυφιας και ην η ηδονη αυτου ωσει γευμα εγκρις εξ ελαιου
[9] και οταν κατεβη η δροσος επι την παρεμβολην νυκτος κατεβαινεν το μαννα επ αυτης
[10] και ηκουσεν μωυσης κλαιοντων αυτων κατα δημους αυτων εκαστον επι της θυρας αυτου και εθυμωθη οργη κυριος σφοδρα και εναντι μωυση ην πονηρον
[11] και ειπεν μωυσης προς κυριον ινα τι εκακωσας τον θεραποντα σου και δια τι ουχ ευρηκα χαριν εναντιον σου επιθειναι την ορμην του λαου τουτου επ εμε
[12] μη εγω εν γαστρι ελαβον παντα τον λαον τουτον η εγω ετεκον αυτους οτι λεγεις μοι λαβε αυτον εις τον κολπον σου ωσει αραι τιθηνος τον θηλαζοντα εις την γην ην ωμοσας τοις πατρασιν αυτων
[13] ποθεν μοι κρεα δουναι παντι τω λαω τουτω οτι κλαιουσιν επ εμοι λεγοντες δος ημιν κρεα ινα φαγωμεν
[14] ου δυνησομαι εγω μονος φερειν τον λαον τουτον οτι βαρυτερον μοι εστιν το ρημα τουτο
[15] ει δε ουτως συ ποιεις μοι αποκτεινον με αναιρεσει ει ευρηκα ελεος παρα σοι ινα μη ιδω μου την κακωσιν
[16] και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην συναγαγε μοι εβδομηκοντα ανδρας απο των πρεσβυτερων ισραηλ ους αυτος συ οιδας οτι ουτοι εισιν πρεσβυτεροι του λαου και γραμματεις αυτων και αξεις αυτους προς την σκηνην του μαρτυριου και στησονται εκει μετα σου
[17] και καταβησομαι και λαλησω εκει μετα σου και αφελω απο του πνευματος του επι σοι και επιθησω επ αυτους και συναντιλημψονται μετα σου την ορμην του λαου και ουκ οισεις αυτους συ μονος
[18] και τω λαω ερεις αγνισασθε εις αυριον και φαγεσθε κρεα οτι εκλαυσατε εναντι κυριου λεγοντες τις ημας ψωμιει κρεα οτι καλον ημιν εστιν εν αιγυπτω και δωσει κυριος υμιν κρεα φαγειν και φαγεσθε κρεα
[19] ουχ ημεραν μιαν φαγεσθε ουδε δυο ουδε πεντε ημερας ουδε δεκα ημερας ουδε εικοσι ημερας
[20] εως μηνος ημερων φαγεσθε εως αν εξελθη εκ των μυκτηρων υμων και εσται υμιν εις χολεραν οτι ηπειθησατε κυριω ος εστιν εν υμιν και εκλαυσατε εναντιον αυτου λεγοντες ινα τι ημιν εξελθειν εξ αιγυπτου
[21] και ειπεν μωυσης εξακοσιαι χιλιαδες πεζων ο λαος εν οις ειμι εν αυτοις και συ ειπας κρεα δωσω αυτοις φαγειν και φαγονται μηνα ημερων
[22] μη προβατα και βοες σφαγησονται αυτοις και αρκεσει αυτοις η παν το οψος της θαλασσης συναχθησεται αυτοις και αρκεσει αυτοις
[23] και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην μη χειρ κυριου ουκ εξαρκεσει ηδη γνωσει ει επικαταλημψεται σε ο λογος μου η ου
[24] και εξηλθεν μωυσης και ελαλησεν προς τον λαον τα ρηματα κυριου και συνηγαγεν εβδομηκοντα ανδρας απο των πρεσβυτερων του λαου και εστησεν αυτους κυκλω της σκηνης
[25] και κατεβη κυριος εν νεφελη και ελαλησεν προς αυτον και παρειλατο απο του πνευματος του επ αυτω και επεθηκεν επι τους εβδομηκοντα ανδρας τους πρεσβυτερους ως δε επανεπαυσατο το πνευμα επ αυτους και επροφητευσαν και ουκετι προσεθεντο
[26] και κατελειφθησαν δυο ανδρες εν τη παρεμβολη ονομα τω ενι ελδαδ και ονομα τω δευτερω μωδαδ και επανεπαυσατο επ αυτους το πνευμα και ουτοι ησαν των καταγεγραμμενων και ουκ ηλθον προς την σκηνην και επροφητευσαν εν τη παρεμβολη
[27] και προσδραμων ο νεανισκος απηγγειλεν μωυση και ειπεν λεγων ελδαδ και μωδαδ προφητευουσιν εν τη παρεμβολη
[28] και αποκριθεις ιησους ο του ναυη ο παρεστηκως μωυση ο εκελεκτος ειπεν κυριε μωυση κωλυσον αυτους
[29] και ειπεν αυτω μωυσης μη ζηλοις συ μοι και τις δωη παντα τον λαον κυριου προφητας οταν δω κυριος το πνευμα αυτου επ αυτους
[30] και απηλθεν μωυσης εις την παρεμβολην αυτος και οι πρεσβυτεροι ισραηλ
[31] και πνευμα εξηλθεν παρα κυριου και εξεπερασεν ορτυγομητραν απο της θαλασσης και επεβαλεν επι την παρεμβολην οδον ημερας εντευθεν και οδον ημερας εντευθεν κυκλω της παρεμβολης ωσει διπηχυ απο της γης
[32] και αναστας ο λαος ολην την ημεραν και ολην την νυκτα και ολην την ημεραν την επαυριον και συνηγαγον την ορτυγομητραν ο το ολιγον συνηγαγεν δεκα κορους και εψυξαν εαυτοις ψυγμους κυκλω της παρεμβολης
[33] τα κρεα ετι ην εν τοις οδουσιν αυτων πριν η εκλειπειν και κυριος εθυμωθη εις τον λαον και επαταξεν κυριος τον λαον πληγην μεγαλην σφοδρα
[34] και εκληθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου μνηματα της επιθυμιας οτι εκει εθαψαν τον λαον τον επιθυμητην
[35] απο μνηματων επιθυμιας εξηρεν ο λαος εις ασηρωθ και εγενετο ο λαος εν ασηρωθ
