Numbers 11:18-23
New International Version
Numbers 11:18-23
New International Version
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves(A) in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed,(B) “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”(C) Now the Lord will give you meat,(D) and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it(E)—because you have rejected the Lord,(F) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(G)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(H) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(I)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(J) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(K)”

Numbers 11:18-23
King James Version
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 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?
23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
