Numbers 11:17-25

CLV(i) 17 I will descend and speak with you there; and I will divert some of the spirit which is on you and place it on them. They will bear the load of the people with you so that you are not bearing it by yourself alone. 18 And to the people you shall say:Sanctify yourselves for the morrow, when you will eat flesh, for you lamented in the ears of Yahweh, saying:Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt. Now Yahweh will give you flesh, and you will eat. 19 Not just one day shall you eat, nor two days nor five days nor ten days nor twenty days. 20 Unto a month of days shall you eat until it comes forth from your nostrils and becomes odious to you because you rejected Yahweh Who is among you and lamented before Him, saying:Why is this that we came forth from Egypt? 21 Moses said:Six hundred thousand men on foot are the people among whom I am, yet You say:Flesh shall I give to them, and they will eat it for a month of days!" 22 Shall the flock and the herd be slain for them to provide for them, or all the fish of the sea be gathered for them to provide for them? 23 And Yahweh said to Moses:The hand of Yahweh, is it short? Now shall you see whether My word shall happen to you or not. 24 Moses went forth and spoke to the people the words of Yahweh. And he gathered seventy men from the elders of the people and stood them around the tent. 25 Yahweh descended in a cloud and spoke to him. He caused some of the spirit which was on him to divert, and He put it on the seventy men, the elders. And it came to be as the spirit rested on them that they prophesied, yet they did not do so again.
