RF NUM 11:1 But bad people murmured in the ears of the EVER-LIVING,—and the LORD heard it, and was displeased, so the LORD caused a fire to break out amongst them, and it consumed the rear of the camp;
RF NUM 11:2 so the people called upon Moses, and Moses prayed to the EVER-LIVING,—and quenched the fire.
RF NUM 11:3 He therefore called the name of that spot "The Burnings,"1 because the LORD there burnt them with fire.
RF NUM 11:4 A Mutiny in the Camp.
But the mixed people who were amongst them, longed, and desired, and wept. Some of the children of Israel also did the same and said; "When shall we eat flesh?
RF NUM 11:5 We remember the fish that we ate in Mitzer for nothing; with the cucumbers, and the melons, and the lettuces, and the onions, and the garlic!
RF NUM 11:6 But now our souls are sick! There is nothing but this manna to look at!"
RF NUM 11:7 And the manna was like coriander seed, and the look of it was like the appearance of gum!
RF NUM 11:8 The people despised it, but they gathered it and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pans, and made their cakes of it, and its taste was like the taste of pancakes.
RF NUM 11:9 When the dew fell upon the camp at night the manna came down with it.
RF NUM 11:10 Moses, however, heard the people weeping, each family at the door of their tent, and the LORD was very angry; and in the eyes of Moses it was bad.
RF NUM 11:11 Therefore Moses said to the EVER-LIVING, "Why have You brought evil upon Your servant? And why have I not found favour in Your eyes for You to remove the weight of all this people from off me?
RF NUM 11:12 Have I begotten all these people? or have I brought them forth, that You should say to me carry them in your lap, as a mother carries in her lap, because as a woman I have sworn to feed them?
RF NUM 11:13 I have no flesh to give to all this nation! who cry to me saying, 'Give us flesh that we may eat.' I cannot feed them! I cannot carry all this nation!
RF NUM 11:14 They are too heavy for me, and therefore do this to me;
RF NUM 11:15 kill me, now, kill me, if I have found favour in Your eyes! that I may not see myself torn to pieces!"
RF NUM 11:16 But the EVER-LIVING answered Moses; "Add to yourself the seventy men from the rulers of Israel whom you know to be able to rule the people and to control them, and take them with you to the Hall of Assembly,
RF NUM 11:17 and present them there with yourself, and I will descend and speak with you there, and will support you with the spirit that is upon you, and I will put it upon them, and they shall carry, along with yourself, the load of this nation, and you shall not carry it alone.

RF NUM 11:18 "But as for this People, order them to sanctify themselves for to-morrow, and they shall eat flesh, for the EVER-LIVING has heard their weeping, saying, 'Would that we could eat meat, such as we enjoyed among the Mitzeraim.' Therefore the EVER-LIVING will give them flesh, and they can eat it.
RF NUM 11:19 They shall not eat it for one day only, or for two days, or for five days, or for ten days, or for twenty days;
RF NUM 11:20 but for a month's time,—until it is ejected from their mouth, and the greedy loathe it,—because they have turned away from the EVER-LIVING, Who is in the midst of them, and wept before Me saying, 'Why has He brought us from the Mitzeraim?'"
RF NUM 11:21 But Moses replied, "There are six hundred thousand of marching men in the nation I am surrounded by,—and you say supply them with flesh meat, and let them eat it for a month.
RF NUM 11:22 If the sheep and cattle are slaughtered for them, could they obtain it? If all the fish in this sea were added to them,—could they obtain it?"
RF NUM 11:23 The EVER-LIVING, however, answered Moses, "Is the hand of JEHOVAH cut off? Now you shall see whether My Word is honoured or not!"
RF NUM 11:24 Then Moses went out, and related to the People all the words of the EVER-LIVING, and he selected seventy from the rulers of the People, and stationed them around the Hall,
RF NUM 11:25 and the EVER-LIVING descended in the cloud, and spoke with him and strengthened him with the spirit that was over him, and placed it upon each of the seventy rulers, and the spirit rested upon them and they addressed the audience, and did not fail.
RF NUM 11:26 But two men separated themselves in the camp;—the name of one was Aldad, and the name of the other was Midad;—but the spirit fell upon them, for they were enrolled, although they did not go to the Assembly, and they addressed the people in the camp.
RF NUM 11:27 Therefore a youth ran and reported it to Moses and said, "Aldad and Midad are addressing a meeting in the Camp!"
RF NUM 11:28 So Joshua the son of Nun, the lieutenant of Moses, went to enquire, and then said "My Lord Moses, restrain them,
RF NUM 11:29 Moses, however, replied to him, "You displease me! for I wish the EVER-LIVING would make all the People orators. I wish the EVER-LIVING would lay His spirit upon them."
RF NUM 11:30 So Moses and the rulers of Israel remained in camp,
RF NUM 11:31 and a wind came from the EVER-LIVING and brought up quails from the sea, and they were scattered over the camp for a day's journey on this side, as far as a day's journey on the other side, all round the camp, and were heaped on the surface of the ground.
RF NUM 11:32 Then the people arose all that day and all that night, and all the next day to collect the quails, and the smallest collection was ten bags, and they spread them all about the camp.
RF NUM 11:33 The flesh was still between their teeth unconsumed when the anger of the LORD burnt against the People, and the LORD struck them with a very great stroke,
RF NUM 11:34 so they called the name of that spot the "Graves of Greed "1 for they buried there the people who were greedy.
RF NUM 11:35 Then the people marched from the Graves of Greed to the Greenfields, and stayed at those fields.2
