Numbers 11:13-18

¹³Where can I find meat to give to all this people? They are weeping in front of me and are saying, 'Give us meat to eat.'

¹⁴I cannot bear all these people alone. They are too much for me.

¹⁵Since you are treating me this way, kill me now—if I find favor in your eyes—do not let me see my misery.”

¹⁶Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring to me seventy of Israel's elders. Be sure that they are elders and officers of the people. Bring them to the tent of meeting to stand there with you.

¹⁷I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will bear the burden of the people with you. You will not have to bear it alone.

¹⁸Say to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow and you will indeed eat meat, for you have wept and Yahweh has heard. You said, “Who will give us meat to eat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat it.
