Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD , and when He heard (them) , His anger was kindled , and fire from the LORD blazed and consumed the outskirts of the camp.
| LXX |
And the people cried out to Moses , and he prayed to the LORD , and the fire died down.
| LXX |
So that place was called ... Taberah , because the fire of the LORD had burned
| LXX |
Meanwhile, the rabble - among them had a strong craving for other food ... , and again the Israelites ... wept and said , “ Who will feed us meat ?
| LXX |
We remember - the fish - we ate freely - in Egypt , along with the cucumbers , - melons , - leeks , - onions , - and garlic.
| LXX |
But now our appetite is gone ; there is nothing ... to see but ... this manna ! ”
| LXX |
Now the manna resembled coriander ... seed , and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
| LXX |
The people walked around and gathered it , ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar , then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into - cakes. ... It tasted ... like pastry baked with fine oil.
| LXX |
When the dew fell on the camp at night , the manna would fall with it.
| LXX |
Then Moses - heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents , and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly , and Moses was also displeased ....
| LXX |
So Moses ... asked the LORD , “ Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant ? Why have I not found favor in Your sight , that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people ?
| LXX |
Did I conceive - all these ... people ? Did I give them birth , so that You should tell me , ‘ Carry them in your bosom , as a nurse carries - an infant , ’ to the land that You swore to give their fathers ?
| LXX |
Where can I get meat for all these people ? For they keep crying out to me ... , ‘ Give meat to eat ! ’
| LXX |
I cannot ... carry - all these people by myself ; (it is) too burdensome for me.
| LXX |
If this is how You are going to treat please kill me right now — if I have found favor in Your eyes — and let me not see my own wretchedness. ”
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses , “ Bring seventy vvv of the elders of Israel - known to you ... ... as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.
| LXX |
And I will come down and speak with you there , and I will take some of the Spirit that (is) on you and put (that Spirit) on them. They will help you bear ... the burden of the people , so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.
| LXX |
And say to the people : Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow , and you will eat meat , because you have cried out in the hearing of the LORD , saying : ‘ Who will feed us meat ? For we were better off in Egypt ! ’ Therefore the LORD will give meat , and you will eat.
| LXX |
You will eat it ... not for one - or two days , nor for five - - or ten - - or twenty days ,
| LXX |
but for a whole month ... — until - it comes out of your nostrils and makes nauseous — because ... you have rejected - the LORD , who is among you , and have cried out before Him , saying , ‘ Why did we ever leave Egypt ? ’”
| LXX |
But Moses replied , “ Here I am among - 600,000 {} ... ... men on foot , yet You say , ‘ I will give meat , and they will eat for a month .... ’
| LXX |
If (all our) flocks and herds were slaughtered would they have enough Or if - all the fish in the sea were caught would they have enough
| LXX |
The LORD ... answered Moses , “ Is the LORD’s arm too short ? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass. ”
| LXX |
So Moses went out and relayed to the people - the words of the LORD , and he gathered seventy ... of the elders of the people and had them stand - around the tent.
| LXX |
Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him , and He took some of the Spirit that was on (Moses) and placed that Spirit on the seventy ... elders. ... As the Spirit rested on them , they prophesied — but they never did so again.
| LXX |
Two men , however, had remained in the camp — one named Eldad ... and the other Medad — and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed , but they had not gone out to the tent , and they prophesied in the camp.
| LXX |
A young man ran and reported to Moses , ... “ Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp. ”
| LXX |
Joshua - son of Nun , the attendant to Moses since youth , spoke up and said , “ Moses , my lord , stop them ! ”
| LXX |
But Moses replied “ Are you jealous account ? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD - would place His Spirit on them ! ”
| LXX |
Then Moses returned to the camp , ... along with the elders of Israel.
| LXX |
Now a wind sent by the LORD came up , drove in quail from the sea , and brought them near the camp , about two cubits above the surface of the ground , for a day’s journey in every direction ... ... ... around the camp.
| LXX |
All that day and night ... , and all the next day , the people stayed up gathering - the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers , and they spread them out - all around the camp.
| LXX |
But while the meat was still between their teeth , before it was chewed , the anger of the LORD burned against the people , and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.
| LXX |
So they called - - that place vvv Kibroth-hattaavah , because there they buried - the people who had craved other food.
| LXX |
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth , where they remained for some time ....
