20but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected Adonai who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt Abode of slavery?”’”
21Moses Drawn out 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.’
22Shall 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?”
23Adonai said to Moses Drawn out, “Has Adonai ’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”
24Moses Drawn out went out, and told the people Adonai ’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
25Adonai 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.
26But 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; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
27A young man ran, and told Moses Drawn out, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
28Joshua Salvation Yah the son of Nun, the servant of Moses Drawn out, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses Drawn out, forbid them!”
29Moses Drawn out said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Adonai ’s people were prophets, that Adonai would put his Spirit on them!” (7)
30Moses Drawn out went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel God prevails.
31A wind from Adonai went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey approximately 20 mi; 32.19 km on this side, and a day’s journey approximately 20 mi; 32.19 kmon the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits 36 in; 91.44 cm above the surface of the earth.
32The 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.
33While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, Adonai ’s anger burned against the people, and Adonai struck the people with a very great plague.
34The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
