Numbers 11
King James Version
11 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
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.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord'S people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!
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.
33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

O povo se queixa a Moisés
11 O povo começou a reclamar de sua situação ao Senhor, que ouviu tudo que diziam. Então a ira do Senhor se acendeu, e ele enviou fogo que ardeu entre o povo, devorando alguns que viviam nas extremidades do acampamento. 2 O povo gritou, pedindo ajuda a Moisés, e quando ele orou ao Senhor, o fogo se apagou. 3 Depois disso, aquele lugar foi chamado de Taberá,[a] pois o fogo do Senhor ardeu ali entre eles.
4 Então o bando de estrangeiros que viajava com os israelitas começou a desejar intensamente a comida do Egito. E o povo de Israel também começou a se queixar: “Ah, se tivéssemos carne para comer! 5 Que saudade dos peixes que comíamos de graça no Egito! Também tínhamos pepinos, melões, alhos-porós, cebolas e alhos à vontade. 6 Mas, agora, perdemos o apetite. Não vemos outra coisa além desse maná!”.
7 O maná era como semente de coentro e tinha aparência de resina. 8 O povo saía e o recolhia do chão. Usava-o para fazer farinha, triturando-o em moinhos manuais ou socando-o em pilões. Depois, cozinhava o maná numa panela e fazia bolos achatados, que tinham gosto de massa folheada assada com azeite. 9 O maná caía sobre o acampamento durante a noite, com o orvalho.
10 Moisés ouviu todas as famílias reclamando à entrada de suas tendas, e a ira do Senhor se acendeu. Com isso, Moisés se revoltou 11 e disse ao Senhor: “Por que tratas a mim, teu servo, com tanta crueldade? Tem misericórdia de mim! O que fiz para merecer o peso de todo este povo? 12 Por acaso gerei ou dei à luz este povo? Por que me pedes para carregá-lo nos braços como a mãe carrega o bebê que mama? Como o levarei à terra que juraste dar a seus antepassados? 13 Onde conseguirei carne para todo este povo? Eles vêm a mim reclamando dizendo: ‘Dê-nos carne para comer!’. 14 Sozinho, não sou capaz de carregar todo este povo! O peso é grande demais! 15 Se é assim que pretendes me tratar, mata-me de uma vez; para mim seria um favor, pois eu não veria esta calamidade!”.
Moisés escolhe setenta líderes
16 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: “Reúna diante de mim setenta homens reconhecidos como autoridades e líderes de Israel. Leve-os à tenda do encontro, para que permaneçam ali com você. 17 Eu descerei e falarei com você. Tomarei um pouco do Espírito que está sobre você e o colocarei sobre eles. Assim, dividirão com você o peso do povo, para que não precise carregá-lo sozinho.
18 “Diga ao povo: ‘Consagrem-se, pois amanhã terão carne para comer. Vocês reclamaram e o Senhor os ouviu quando disseram: ‘Ah, se tivéssemos carne para comer! Estávamos melhor no Egito!’. Agora o Senhor lhes dará carne, e vocês terão de comê-la. 19 E não será apenas um dia, ou dois, ou cinco, ou dez ou mesmo vinte. 20 Comerão carne por um mês inteiro, até lhes sair pelo nariz e vocês enjoarem dela, pois rejeitaram o Senhor que está aqui entre vocês e reclamaram contra ele, dizendo: ‘Por que saímos do Egito?’’”.
21 Moisés, porém, respondeu ao Senhor: “Tenho comigo um exército de seiscentos mil soldados e, no entanto, dizes: ‘Eu lhes darei carne durante um mês inteiro!’. 22 Mesmo que abatêssemos todos os nossos rebanhos, bastaria para satisfazê-los? Mesmo que pegássemos todos os peixes do mar, seria suficiente?”.
23 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: “Você duvida do meu poder? Agora você verá se minha palavra se cumprirá ou não!”.
24 Moisés saiu e transmitiu as palavras do Senhor ao povo. Reuniu os setenta líderes e os colocou ao redor da tenda da reunião.[b] 25 O Senhor desceu na nuvem e falou com ele. Depois, deu aos setenta líderes o mesmo Espírito que estava sobre Moisés. E, quando o Espírito pousou sobre eles, os líderes profetizaram, algo que nunca mais aconteceu.
26 Dois homens, Eldade e Medade, haviam permanecido no acampamento. Faziam parte da lista de autoridades, mas não tinham ido à tenda da reunião. E, no entanto, o Espírito também pousou sobre eles, de modo que profetizaram ali no acampamento. 27 Um rapaz correu e contou a Moisés: “Eldade e Medade estão profetizando no acampamento!”.
28 Josué, filho de Num, que desde jovem era auxiliar de Moisés, protestou: “Moisés, meu senhor, faça-os parar!”.
29 Moisés, porém, respondeu: “Você está com ciúmes por mim? Que bom seria se todos do povo do Senhor fossem profetas e se o Senhor colocasse seu Espírito sobre todos eles!”. 30 Então Moisés voltou ao acampamento com as autoridades de Israel.
O Senhor envia codornas
31 O Senhor mandou um vento que trouxe codornas do lado do mar e as fez voar baixo por todo o acampamento. Numa área de vários quilômetros em todas as direções, voavam a uma altura de quase um metro do chão.[c] 32 O povo saiu e pegou codornas durante todo aquele dia, toda aquela noite e todo o dia seguinte. Ninguém recolheu menos de dez cestos grandes.[d] Em seguida, espalharam as codornas por todo o acampamento para secá-las. 33 Mas, enquanto ainda se empanturravam, com a boca cheia de carne, a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra o povo, e ele os feriu com uma praga terrível. 34 Por isso, aquele lugar foi chamado de Quibrote-Hataavá,[e] pois ali sepultaram o povo que cobiçou a carne do Egito. 35 De Quibrote-Hataavá o povo viajou para Hazerote, onde ficou algum tempo.

Fire From the Lord
11 Now the people complained(A) about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord,(B) and when he heard them his anger was aroused.(C) Then fire from the Lord burned among them(D) and consumed(E) some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed(F) to the Lord(G) and the fire died down. 3 So that place was called Taberah,[a](H) because fire from the Lord had burned among them.(I)
Quail From the Lord
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,(J) and again the Israelites started wailing(K) and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.(L) 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!(M)”
7 The manna was like coriander seed(N) and looked like resin.(O) 8 The people went around gathering it,(P) and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 9 When the dew(Q) settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.
10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing(R) at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11 He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought this trouble(S) on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?(T) 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant,(U) to the land you promised on oath(V) to their ancestors?(W) 13 Where can I get meat for all these people?(X) They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.(Y) 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me(Z)—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
16 The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders(AA) who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people.(AB) Have them come to the tent of meeting,(AC) that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and speak with you(AD) there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them.(AE) They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.(AF)
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves(AG) in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed,(AH) “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”(AI) Now the Lord will give you meat,(AJ) 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(AK)—because you have rejected the Lord,(AL) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(AM)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(AN) 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?”(AO)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(AP) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(AQ)”
24 So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. He brought together seventy of their elders and had them stand around the tent. 25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud(AR) and spoke with him,(AS) and he took some of the power of the Spirit(AT) that was on him and put it on the seventy elders.(AU) When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied(AV)—but did not do so again.
26 However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them,(AW) and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Joshua son of Nun,(AX) who had been Moses’ aide(AY) since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”(AZ)
29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets(BA) and that the Lord would put his Spirit(BB) on them!”(BC) 30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
31 Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail(BD) in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[b] 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.[c] Then they spread them out all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth(BE) and before it could be consumed, the anger(BF) of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.(BG) 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[d](BH) because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth(BI) and stayed there.
