Numbers 11:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow you will eat meat. You cried out in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? We were better off when we were in Egypt.” Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will eat it. ¹⁹ You will not eat it for just one day, nor for two days, nor for five days, nor for ten days, nor for twenty days. ²⁰ You will eat it for a whole month, until your faces overflow with it, and you become sick of it, for you have despised the Lord who is among you and whom you have confronted crying out, “Why did we come out of Egypt?” ’ ”
