AND when the people complained, it displeased Yahuah: and Yahuah heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of Yahuah burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
And the people cried unto Mosheh; and when Mosheh prayed unto El-Yahuah, the fire was quenched.
And he called the name of the place Tav'erah: because the fire of Yahuah burnt among them.
And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Yashar'el also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Mitsrayim freely; את the cucumbers, and את the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.
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.
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Then Mosheh heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of Yahuah was kindled greatly; Mosheh also was displeased.
And Mosheh said unto El-Yahuah, Wherefore have you afflicted your servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people upon me?
Have I conceived את all this people? have I begotten them, that you should say unto me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing father bears the sucking child, unto the land which you swore unto their fathers?
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
And if you deal thus with me, kill me, I pray you, out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Yashar'el, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the Tabernacle of the assembly, that they may stand there with you.
And I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the Ruach which is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you bear it not yourself alone.
And say you unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of Yahuah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Mitsrayim: therefore Yahuah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised Yahuah which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Mitsrayim?
And Mosheh said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
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?
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Is Yahuah's hand waxed short? you shall see now whether my word shall come to pass unto you or not.
And Mosheh went out, and told the people את the words of Yahuah, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tabernacle.
And Yahuah came down in a cloud, and spoke unto him, and took of the Ruach that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the Ruach rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Meydad: and the Ruach rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the Tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
And there ran a young man, and told Mosheh, and said, Eldad and Meydad do prophesy in the camp.
And Yahusha the son of Nun, the servant of Mosheh, one of his young men, answered and said, My adoniy Mosheh, forbid them.
And Mosheh said unto him, Envy you for my sake? would to Elohiym that all Yahuah's people were prophets, and that Yahuah would put his Ruach upon them!
And Mosheh got him into the camp, he and the elders of Yashar'el.
And there went forth a wind from Yahuah, 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.
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.
And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of Yahuah was kindled against the people, and Yahuah smote the people with a very great plague.
And he called the name of that place Qivrot Hat-Ta'avah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
And the people journeyed from Qivrot Hat-Ta'avah unto Chatseroth; and abode at Chatseroth.
