And when the people⁵⁹⁷¹ complained,⁵⁹⁶ it displeased⁷⁴⁵¹ Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it; and his anger⁶³⁹ was kindled;²⁷³⁴ and the fire⁷⁸⁴ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ burnt¹¹⁹⁷ among them, and consumed³⁹⁸ them that were in the uttermost parts⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the camp.⁴²⁶⁴

And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto Moses;⁴⁸⁷² and when Moses⁴⁸⁷² prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ unto Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ the fire⁷⁸⁴ was quenched.⁸²⁵⁷

And he called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the place¹⁹³¹ Taberah:⁸⁴⁰⁴ because the fire⁷⁸⁴ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ burnt¹¹⁹⁷ among them.

And the mixt multitude⁶²⁸ that was among⁷¹³⁰ them fell a lusting:¹⁸³ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ also wept¹⁰⁵⁸ again,⁷⁷²⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Who shall give us flesh¹³²⁰ to eat?³⁹⁸

We remember²¹⁴² the fish,¹⁷¹⁰ which we did eat³⁹⁸ in Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ freely;²⁶⁰⁰ the cucumbers,⁷¹⁸⁰ and the melons,²⁰ and the leeks,²⁶⁸² and the onions,¹²¹¹ and the garlick:⁷⁷⁶²

But now our soul⁵³¹⁵ is dried away:³⁰⁰² there is nothing at all, beside¹¹¹⁵ this manna,⁴⁴⁷⁸ before our eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

And the manna⁴⁴⁷⁸ was as coriander¹⁴⁰⁷ seed,²²³³ and the colour⁵⁸⁶⁹ thereof as the colour⁵⁸⁶⁹ of bdellium.⁹¹⁶

And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went about,⁷⁷⁵¹ and gathered³⁹⁵⁰ it, and ground²⁹¹² it in mills,⁷³⁴⁷ or beat¹⁷⁴³ it in a mortar,⁴⁰⁸⁵ and baked¹³¹⁰ it in pans,⁶⁵¹⁷ and made⁶²¹³ cakes⁵⁶⁹² of it: and the taste²⁹⁴⁰ of it was as the taste²⁹⁴⁰ of fresh³⁹⁵⁵ oil.⁸⁰⁸¹

And when the dew²⁹¹⁹ fell³³⁸¹ upon the camp⁴²⁶⁴ in the night,³⁹¹⁵ the manna⁴⁴⁷⁸ fell³³⁸¹ upon it.

Then Moses⁴⁸⁷² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ weep¹⁰⁵⁸ throughout their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ every man³⁷⁶ in the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of his tent:¹⁶⁸ and the anger⁶³⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ greatly;³⁹⁶⁶ Moses⁴⁸⁷² also was displeased.⁷⁴⁸⁹

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ Wherefore hast thou afflicted⁷⁴⁸⁹ thy servant?⁵⁶⁵⁰ and wherefore have I not found⁴⁶⁷² favour²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that thou layest⁷⁷⁶⁰ the burden⁴⁸⁵³ of all this people⁵⁹⁷¹ upon me?

Have I conceived²⁰²⁹ all this people?⁵⁹⁷¹ have I begotten³²⁰⁵ them, that thou shouldest say⁵⁵⁹ unto me, Carry⁵³⁷⁵ them in thy bosom,²⁴³⁶ as a nursing father⁵³⁹ beareth⁵³⁷⁵ the sucking child,³²⁴³ unto the land¹²⁷ which thou swarest⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto their fathers?¹

Whence³⁷⁰ should I have flesh¹³²⁰ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto all this people?⁵⁹⁷¹ for they weep¹⁰⁵⁸ unto me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Give⁵⁴¹⁴ us flesh,¹³²⁰ that we may eat.³⁹⁸

I am not able³²⁰¹ to bear⁵³⁷⁵ all this people⁵⁹⁷¹ alone,⁹⁰⁵ because it is too heavy³⁵¹⁵ for me.

And if thou deal⁶²¹³ thus with me, kill²⁰²⁶ me, I pray thee, out of hand,²⁰²⁶ if I have found⁴⁶⁷² favour²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight;⁵⁸⁶⁹ and let me not see⁷²⁰⁰ my wretchedness.⁷⁴⁵¹

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Gather⁶²² unto me seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ men³⁷⁶ of the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whom thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ to be the elders²²⁰⁵ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ over them; and bring³⁹⁴⁷ them unto the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ that they may stand³³²⁰ there with thee.

And I will come down³³⁸¹ and talk¹⁶⁹⁶ with thee there: and I will take⁶⁸⁰ of the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ which is upon thee, and will put⁷⁷⁶⁰ it upon them; and they shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ the burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ with thee, that thou bear⁵³⁷⁵ it not thyself alone.

And say⁵⁵⁹ thou unto the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Sanctify⁶⁹⁴² yourselves against to morrow,⁴²⁷⁹ and ye shall eat³⁹⁸ flesh:¹³²⁰ for ye have wept¹⁰⁵⁸ in the ears²⁴¹ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Who shall give us flesh¹³²⁰ to eat?³⁹⁸ for it was well²⁸⁹⁵ with us in Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ therefore Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ will give⁵⁴¹⁴ you flesh,¹³²⁰ and ye shall eat.³⁹⁸

Ye shall not eat³⁹⁸ one²⁵⁹ day,³¹¹⁷ nor two days,³¹¹⁷ nor five²⁵⁶⁸ days,³¹¹⁷ neither ten⁶²³⁵ days,³¹¹⁷ nor twenty⁶²⁴² days;³¹¹⁷

But even a whole month,²³²⁰ until it come out³³¹⁸ at your nostrils,⁶³⁹ and it be loathsome²²¹⁴ unto you: because³²⁸² that ye have despised³⁹⁸⁸ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ which is among⁷¹³⁰ you, and have wept¹⁰⁵⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Why came we forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt?⁴⁷¹⁴

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said,⁵⁵⁹ The people,⁵⁹⁷¹ among⁷¹³⁰ whom I am, are six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ footmen;⁷²⁷³ and thou hast said,⁵⁵⁹ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ them flesh,¹³²⁰ that they may eat³⁹⁸ a whole month.²³²⁰

Shall the flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and the herds¹²⁴¹ be slain⁷⁸¹⁹ for them, to suffice⁴⁶⁷² them? or shall all the fish¹⁷⁰⁹ of the sea³²²⁰ be gathered⁶²² together for them, to suffice⁴⁶⁷² them?

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Is Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ hand³⁰²⁷ waxed short?⁷¹¹⁴ thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ now whether my word¹⁶⁹⁷ shall come to pass⁷¹³⁶ unto thee or not.

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² went out,³³¹⁸ and told¹⁶⁹⁶ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and gathered⁶²² the seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ men³⁷⁶ of the elders²²⁰⁵ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and set⁵⁹⁷⁵ them round about⁵⁴³⁹ the tabernacle.¹⁶⁸

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came down³³⁸¹ in a cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him, and took⁶⁸⁰ of the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ that was upon him, and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto the seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ elders:²²⁰⁵ and it came to pass, that, when the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ rested⁵¹¹⁷ upon them, they prophesied,⁵⁰¹² and did not cease.³²⁵⁴

But there remained⁷⁶⁰⁴ two⁸¹⁴⁷ of the men⁵⁸² in the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the one²⁵⁹ was Eldad,⁴¹⁹ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the other⁸¹⁴⁵ Medad:⁴³¹² and the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ rested⁵¹¹⁷ upon them; and they were of them that were written,³⁷⁸⁹ but went not out³³¹⁸ unto the tabernacle:¹⁶⁸ and they prophesied⁵⁰¹² in the camp.⁴²⁶⁴

And there ran⁷³²³ a young man,⁵²⁸⁸ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Eldad⁴¹⁹ and Medad⁴³¹² do prophesy⁵⁰¹² in the camp.⁴²⁶⁴

And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ the servant⁸³³⁴ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² one of his young men,⁹⁷⁹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ My sovereign¹¹³ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² forbid³⁶⁰⁷ them.

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Enviest⁷⁰⁶⁵ thou for my sake? I hope that he would permit⁵⁴¹⁴ that all Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ were prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ would put⁵⁴¹⁴ his spirit⁷³⁰⁷ upon them!

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² gat⁶²² him into the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ he and the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And there went forth⁵²⁶⁵ a wind⁷³⁰⁷ from Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and brought¹⁴⁶⁸ quails⁷⁹⁵⁸ from the sea,³²²⁰ and let them fall⁵²⁰³ by the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ as it were a day's³¹¹⁷ journey¹⁸⁷⁰ on this side,³⁵⁴¹ and as it were a day's³¹¹⁷ journey¹⁸⁷⁰ on the other side,³⁵⁴¹ round about⁵⁴³⁹ the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ and as it were two cubits⁵²⁰ high upon the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth.⁷⁷⁶

And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ all that day,³¹¹⁷ and all that night,³⁹¹⁵ and all the next⁴²⁸³ day,³¹¹⁷ and they gathered⁶²² the quails:⁷⁹⁵⁸ he that gathered least⁴⁵⁹¹ gathered⁶²² ten⁶²³⁵ homers:²⁵⁶³ and they spread⁷⁸⁴⁹ them all abroad⁷⁸⁴⁹ for themselves round about⁵⁴³⁹ the camp.⁴²⁶⁴

And while the flesh¹³²⁰ was yet between their teeth,⁸¹²⁷ ere²⁹⁶² it was chewed,³⁷⁷² the wrath⁶³⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵²²¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²²⁷ plague.⁴³⁴⁷

And he called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that place⁴⁷²⁵ Kibrothhattaavah:⁶⁹¹⁴ because there they buried⁶⁹¹² the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that lusted.¹⁸³

And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ journeyed⁵²⁶⁵ from Kibrothhattaavah⁶⁹¹⁴ unto Hazeroth;²⁶⁹⁸ and abode at Hazeroth.²⁶⁹⁸
