¹⁹ You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or twenty days.

²⁰ You will eat meat every day for one month, and then you will loathe/despise it, and it will cause you to want to vomit. This will happen because you have rejected Yahweh who is here among you, and you have wailed in his presence, saying “We would have had better food to eat if we had not left Egypt RHQ.”’”

²¹ But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “There are six hundred thousand men plus women and children here with me, so ◄ why do you say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’?/it does not seem right for you to say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’► RHQ

²² Even if we killed all the sheep and cattle, that would not RHQ be enough to provide meat for all of them Even if we caught all the fish in the sea and gave it to them, that would not be enough RHQ!”

²³ But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do you think that I SYN have no power? You will now see if I can do what I say I will do.”

²⁴ So Moses/I went out from the Sacred Tent and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he/I gathered together the seventy leaders and told them to stand around the Sacred Tent.

¹⁹ You° shall not eat one day, nor two, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;

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?”’”

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.

¹⁹ You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,

²⁴ Moses went out, and told the people the LORD’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.

¹⁹ Not for one day only, or even for five or ten or twenty days;

²⁰ But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?

²¹ Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.

²² Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?

²³ And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.

²⁴ And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent.

¹⁹ Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

²⁰ but for a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

²¹ And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month.

²² Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice them?

²¹ And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month?

²² Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them?

²³ And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no.

²⁴ Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle.

¹⁹ You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.

²⁰ You're going to eat it for a whole month until it makes you vomit and it comes out through your nostrils, because you have rejected the Lord who is right here with you, complaining to him by saying, ‘Why on earth did we ever leave Egypt?’”

²¹ But Moses replied, “Here I am with 600,000 people and you're telling me, ‘I'm going to give them meat and they'll eat it for a month’?

²² Even if all our flocks and herds were slaughtered, would that be enough for them? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough for them?”

²³ “Doesn't the Lord have the power to do that?” the Lord responded. “Now you're going to find out whether what I've said will happen or not!”

²⁴ Moses went and shared with the people what the Lord said. He summoned seventy elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.

¹⁹ Ye shall not eat one day nor two daies, nor fiue daies, neither ten daies, nor twentie dayes,

²⁰ But a whole moneth, vntill it come out at your nostrels, and bee lothesome vnto you, because ye haue contemned the Lord, which is among you, and haue wept before him, saying, Why came we hither out of Egypt?

²² Shall the sheepe and the beeues be slaine for them, to finde them? either shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?

²³ And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Is the Lordes hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to passe vnto thee, or no.
