The Quails

31 Then a wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quails from the sea and let them fall beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, about two cubits deep on the ground.(A) 32 So the people worked all that day and night and all the next day gathering the quails; the least anyone gathered was ten homers, and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.(B)

Prepelice

31 BOG je podigao vjetar koji je od mora donio prepelice i pobacao ih posvuda oko tabora. Prekrile su zemlju do visine jednog metra[a] i udaljenosti jednog dana hoda od tabora u pustinju. 32 Cijeli taj dan i noć, i cijeli sljedeći dan, narod je sakupljao prepelice. Svatko je sakupio količinu koja je iznosila najmanje deset bačvi[b]. Zatim su prostrli meso svuda po taboru. 33 No, dok im je meso još bilo među zubima, prije nego što su ga prožvakali, BOG se razljutio na njih i udario ih strašnim pomorom.

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. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth(B) and before it could be consumed, the anger(C) of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.(D)

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. 33 But while the (C)meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was aroused against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.
