1 The people were complaining in the ears of YHWH. When YHWH heard it, his anger burned; and YHWH’s fire burned among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. Numbers 11:1WEB
2 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to YHWH, and the fire abated. Numbers 11:2WEB

5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic; Numbers 11:5WEB
6 but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.” Numbers 11:6WEB
7 The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium. Numbers 11:7WEB

11 Moses said to YHWH, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? Numbers 11:11WEB
12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers?’ Numbers 11:12WEB
13 Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ Numbers 11:13WEB
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. Numbers 11:14WEB
15 If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.” Numbers 11:15WEB
16 YHWH said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you. Numbers 11:16WEB
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself alone. Numbers 11:17WEB
18 “Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore YHWH will give you meat, and you will eat. Numbers 11:18WEB
19 You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days, Numbers 11:19WEB
20 but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected YHWH who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’” Numbers 11:20WEB
21 Moses 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.’ Numbers 11:21WEB

24 Moses went out, and told the people YHWH’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent. Numbers 11:24WEB
25 YHWH 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. Numbers 11:25WEB
26 But 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. They were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. Numbers 11:26WEB
27 A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!” Numbers 11:27WEB
28 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!” Numbers 11:28WEB

31 A wind from YHWH went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth. Numbers 11:31WEB
32 The 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. Numbers 11:32WEB
