30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.

31 Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail(A) in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[a] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 32 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers.[b] Then they spread them out all around the camp.

30 Hierauf begab sich Mose ins Lager zurück, er und die Ältesten Israels.

Die Wachteln und die Plage bei den »Lustgräbern«

31 Da fuhr ein Wind aus von dem Herrn und trieb Wachteln vom Meer her und streute sie über das Lager, eine Tagereise weit hier und eine Tagereise weit dort, um das Lager her, etwa zwei Ellen hoch über der Erdoberfläche.

32 Da machte sich das Volk auf an diesem ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht und an dem ganzen folgenden Tag, und sie sammelten die Wachteln; und wer am wenigsten sammelte, der sammelte 10 Homer, und sie breiteten sie weithin aus um das Lager her.

The Lord Sends Quail

31 Now a (A)wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground. 32 And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten (B)homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
