Numbers 11

1 And it was the people like [those who] complain trouble in [the] ears of Yahweh and he heard Yahweh and it burned anger his and it burned among them [the] fire of Yahweh and it consumed in [the] outskirt[s] of the camp.

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 among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

2 And it cried out the people to Moses and he prayed Moses to Yahweh and it died out the fire.

And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.

3 And someone called [the] name of the place that Taberah for it had burned among them [the] fire of Yahweh.

So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.

4 And the rabble which [was] in midst its they craved a craving and they returned and they wept also [the] people of Israel and they said who? will he cause to eat us meat.

Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?

5 We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing the cucumbers and the watermelons and the leek[s] and the onions and the garlic.

We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

6 And now appetite our [is] dry there not [is] anything except [are] to the manna eyes our.

But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”

7 And the manna [was] like seed of coriander it and appearance its [was] like [the] appearance of bdellium.

Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.

8 They went about the people and they gathered and they ground in hand-mill or they pounded in mortar and they boiled in pot and they made it bread cakes and it was taste its like [the] taste of cake of oil.

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.

9 And when came down the dew on the camp night it came down the manna with it.

When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.

10 And he heard Moses the people weeping to clans its everyone to [the] entrance of tent his and it burned [the] anger of Yahweh exceedingly and in [the] eyes of Moses [it was] displeasing.

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.

11 And he said Moses to Yahweh why? have you done harm to servant your and why? not have I found favor in view your to put [the] burden of all the people this on me.

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?

12 ¿ I did I conceive all the people this or? I did I give birth to it that you will say to me carry it in bosom your just as he carries foster-father the suckling-child on the land which you swore to ancestors its.

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?

13 From where? [belong] to me [will] meat to give [it] to all the people this for they are weeping to me saying give! to us meat so let us eat.

Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’

14 Not I am able I to alone me to carry all the people this for [it is too] heavy for me.

I cannot carry all these people by myself; it is too burdensome for me.

15 And if thus - you [are] doing to me kill me please completely if I have found favor in view your and may not I look on distress my.

If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and let me not see my own wretchedness.”

16 And he said Yahweh to Moses gather! to me seventy man from [the] elders of Israel whom you know that they [are] [the] elders of the people and officials its and you will take them to [the] tent of meeting and they will present themselves there with you.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy 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.

17 And I will come down and I will speak with you there and I will share some of the spirit which [is] on you and I will put [it] on them and they will carry with you in [the] burden of the people and not you will carry [it] you to alone you.

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.

18 And to the people you will say sanctify yourselves for tomorrow and you will eat meat for you have wept in [the] ears of Yahweh saying who? will he cause to eat us meat for it was good for us in Egypt and he will give Yahweh to you meat and you will eat.

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 you meat, and you will eat.

19 Not a day one you will eat! and not two days and not - five days and not ten days and not twenty day[s].

You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,

20 Until - a month of days until that it will come out from nose your and it will become for you a loathsome thing because for you have rejected Yahweh who [is] in midst your and you have wept before him saying why? this did we come out from Egypt.

but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you nauseous—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”

21 And he said Moses [are] six hundred thousand foot soldier[s] the people which I [am] in midst its and you you have said meat I will give to them and they will eat a month of days.

But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’

22 ¿ A flock and a herd will it be slaughtered for them and someone will find for them or? all [the] fish of the sea will it be gathered for them and someone will find for them.

If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”

23 And he said Yahweh to Moses ¿ [the] hand of Yahweh is it short now you will see ¿ will it happen to you word my or? not.

The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”

24 And he went out Moses and he spoke to the people [the] words of Yahweh and he gathered seventy man from [the] elders of the people and he stationed them around the tent.

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.

25 And he came down Yahweh - in the cloud and he spoke to him and he shared some of the spirit which [was] on him and he put [it] on seventy man the elders and it was when rested on them the spirit and they prophesied and not they repeated.

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.

26 And they had remained two men - in the camp [the] name of the one - [was] Eldad and [the] name of the second [was] Medad and it rested on them the spirit and they among those written and not they had gone out the tent towards and they prophesied in the camp.

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.

27 And he ran the young man and he told to Moses and he said Eldad and Medad [are] prophesying in the camp.

A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 And he answered Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Moses from youth his and he said O lord my Moses restrain them.

Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”

29 And he said to him Moses ¿ zealous [are] you for me and who? will he give all [the] people of Yahweh [were] prophets that he will put Yahweh spirit his on them.

But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!”

30 And he gathered himself Moses to the camp he and [the] elders of Israel.

Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.

31 And a wind it set out - from with Yahweh and it brought quails from the sea and it left [them] at the camp about a journey of a day thus and about a journey of a day thus around the camp and about two cubits above [the] surface of the ground.

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.

32 And it arose the people all the day that and all the night and all - [the] day of the next day and they gathered the quail the [one who] did little he gathered ten homers and they spread [them] out for themselves completely around the camp.

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.

33 The meat still it [was] between teeth their not yet it was chewed and [the] anger of Yahweh it burned on the people and he struck Yahweh the people a plague great very.

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.

34 And someone called [the] name of the place that Kibroth Hattaavah for there they buried the people who craved.

So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.

35 From Kibroth Hattaavah they set out the people Hazeroth and they were at Hazeroth.

From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth, where they remained for some time.
