1And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. (Le 10:2; Nu 16:35; De 9:22; 2Ki 1:12; Ps 78:21; Ps 106:18; Re 13:13)2Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died down. (Nu 16:45; Nu 21:7; Jas 5:16)3So the name of that place was called Taberah,[1] because the fire of the Lord burned among them. (De 9:22)4Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, “Oh that we had meat to eat! (Ex 12:38; Nu 14:1; Ps 78:18; Ps 106:14; 1Co 10:6)5We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. (Ex 16:3; Nu 21:5; Ac 7:39)6But now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at.”7Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium. (Ex 16:14; Ex 16:31)8The people went about and gathered it and ground it in handmills or beat it in mortars and boiled it in pots and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil. (Ex 16:16; Ex 16:31)9When the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell with it. (Ex 16:13)10Moses heard the people weeping throughout their clans, everyone at the door of his tent. And the anger of the Lord blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased. (Zec 12:12)11Moses said to the Lord, “Why have you dealt ill with your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? (1Ki 19:4; Jon 4:1; Jon 4:9)12Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land that you swore to give their fathers? (Ge 50:24; Ex 13:5; De 1:31; Isa 40:11; Isa 49:23; 1Th 2:7)13Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ (2Ki 7:2; Mt 15:33; Mr 8:4; Joh 6:7; Joh 6:9)14I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. (Ex 18:18; De 1:9; De 1:12)15If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”
Elders Appointed to Aid Moses
16Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. (Ex 24:1; Ex 24:9; De 1:15; De 16:18)17And I will come down and talk with you there. And I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you may not bear it yourself alone. (Ge 11:5; Ge 18:21; Ex 18:22; Ex 19:20; Nu 11:25; Nu 12:5; 2Ki 2:9; 2Ki 2:15; Ne 9:20)18And say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat, for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was better for us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat. (Ex 19:10; Nu 11:5)19You shall not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,20but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’” (Nu 21:5; Ps 78:29; Ps 106:15)21But Moses said, “The people among whom I am number six hundred thousand on foot, and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month!’ (Ex 12:37; Ex 38:26; Nu 1:46)22Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, and be enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and be enough for them?” (Nu 11:13)23And the Lord said to Moses, “Is the Lord’s hand shortened? Now you shall see whether my word will come true for you or not.” (Nu 23:19; Isa 50:2; Isa 59:1; Eze 12:25; Eze 24:14)24So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord. And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tent. (Nu 11:16)25Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the Spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. And as soon as the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied. But they did not continue doing it. (Nu 11:17)26Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. (1Sa 20:26; Jer 36:5)27And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”28And Joshua the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth, said, “My lord Moses, stop them.” (Ex 24:13; Nu 13:8; Nu 13:16; Nu 26:65; Mr 9:38; Lu 9:49)29But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!” (1Co 14:5)30And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
Quail and a Plague
31Then a wind from the Lord sprang up, and it brought quail 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, around the camp, and about two cubits[2] above the ground. (Ex 16:13; Ps 78:26; Ps 105:40)32And the people rose all that day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail. Those who gathered least gathered ten homers.[3] And they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. (Ex 16:36; Eze 45:11)33While the meat was yet between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck down the people with a very great plague. (Nu 16:49; Ps 78:30)34Therefore the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah,[4] because there they buried the people who had the craving. (De 9:22)35From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth, and they remained at Hazeroth. (Nu 12:16; Nu 33:17)
1Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.2When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the Lord and the fire died down.3So that place was called Taberah,[1] because fire from the Lord had burned among them.
Quail from the Lord
4The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, ‘If only we had meat to eat!5We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost – also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.6But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!’7The manna was like coriander seed and looked like resin.8The people went around gathering it, 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.9When the dew settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.10Moses heard the people of every family wailing at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled.11He asked the Lord, ‘Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?12Did 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, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors?13Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, “Give us meat to eat!”14I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.15If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me right now – if I have found favour in your eyes – and do not let me face my own ruin.’16The Lord said to Moses: ‘Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. Make them come to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you.17I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.18‘Tell the people: “Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed, ‘If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!’ Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will eat it.19You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days,20but for a whole month – until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it – because you have rejected the Lord, who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’ ” ’21But Moses said, ‘Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, “I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!”22Would 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?’23The Lord answered Moses, ‘Is the Lord’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.’24So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. He brought together seventy of their elders and made them stand round the tent.25Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke with him, and he took some of the power of the Spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied – but did not do so again.26However, 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, and they prophesied in the camp.27A young man ran and told Moses, ‘Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.’28Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses’ assistant since youth, spoke up and said, ‘Moses, my lord, stop them!’29But Moses replied, ‘Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!’30Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.31Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[2] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction.32All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No-one gathered less than ten homers.[3] Then they spread them out all around the camp.33But while the meat was still between their teeth and before it could be consumed, the anger of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.34Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[4] because there they buried the people who had craved other food.35From Kibroth Hattaavah the people travelled to Hazeroth and stayed there.
1The people weren’t happy about the hard times they were having. The LORD heard what they were saying. It made him very angry. Then the LORD sent fire on them. It blazed out among the people. It burned some of the outer edges of the camp.2The people cried out to Moses. Then he prayed to the LORD. And the fire died down.3So that place was named Taberah. That’s because fire from the LORD had blazed out among them there.
The Lord sends quail for the people to eat
4Some people with them began to wish for other food. Again the Israelites began to cry out. They said, ‘We wish we had meat to eat.5We remember the fish we ate in Egypt. It didn’t cost us anything. We also remember the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.6But now we’ve lost all interest in eating. We never see anything but this manna!’7The manna was like coriander seeds. It looked like sap from a tree.8The people went around gathering it. Then they ground it up in a small mill they held in their hands. Or they crushed it in a stone bowl. They cooked it in a pot. Or they made loaves out of it. It tasted like something made with olive oil.9When the dew came down on the camp at night, the manna also came down.10Moses heard people from every family crying at the entrances to their tents. The LORD became very angry. So Moses became upset.11He asked the LORD, ‘Why have you brought this trouble on me? Why aren’t you pleased with me? Why have you loaded me down with the troubles of all these people?12Am I like a mother to them? Are they my children? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms? Do I have to carry them the way a nurse carries a baby? Do I have to carry them to the land you promised? You promised the land to their people of long ago.13Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep crying out to me. They say, “Give us meat to eat!”14I can’t carry all these people by myself. The load is too heavy for me.15Is this how you are going to treat me? If you are pleased with me, just put me to death right now. Don’t let me live if I have to see myself destroyed anyway.’16The LORD said to Moses, ‘Bring me 70 of Israel’s elders. Bring men that you know are leaders and officials among the people. Let them come to the tent of meeting. I want them to stand there with you.17I will come down and speak with you there. I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you. And I will put it on them. They will share the responsibility of these people with you. Then you will not have to carry it alone.18‘Tell the people, “Set yourselves apart for tomorrow. At that time you will eat meat. The LORD heard you when you cried out. You said, ‘We wish we had meat to eat. We were better off in Egypt.’ Now the LORD will give you meat. And you will eat it.19You will not eat it for just one or two days. You will not eat it for just five, ten or 20 days.20Instead, you will eat it for a whole month. You will eat it until it comes out of your noses. You will eat it until you hate it. The LORD is among you. But you have turned your back on him. You have cried out while he was listening. You have said, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’ ” ’21But Moses said to the LORD, ‘Here I am among 600,000 men on the march. And you say, “I will give them meat to eat for a whole month”!22Would they have enough if flocks and herds were killed for them? Would they have enough even if all the fish in the ocean were caught for them?’23The LORD answered Moses, ‘Am I not strong enough? Now you will see whether what I say will come true for you.’24So Moses went out. He told the people what the LORD had said. He gathered 70 of their elders together. He had them stand around the tent of meeting.25Then the LORD came down in the cloud. He spoke with Moses. He took some of the power of the Spirit that was on Moses. And he put it on the 70 elders. When the Spirit came on them, they prophesied. But they didn’t do it again.26Two men had remained in the camp. Their names were Eldad and Medad. They were listed among the elders. But they didn’t go out to the tent of meeting. In spite of that, the Spirit came on them too. So they prophesied in the camp.27A young man ran up to Moses. He said, ‘Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.’28Joshua spoke up. He was the son of Nun. Joshua had been Moses’ helper from the time he was young. He said, ‘Moses! Please stop them!’29But Moses replied, ‘Are you jealous for me? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets. And I wish that the LORD would put his Spirit on them.’30Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.31The LORD sent out a wind. It drove quail in from the Red Sea. It scattered them all around the camp. They were about a metre above the ground. They could be seen in every direction as far as a person could walk in a day.32The people went out all day and gathered quail. They gathered them all night and all the next day. No one gathered less than 2 tonnes. Then they spread the quail out all around the camp.33But while the meat was still in their mouths, the LORD acted. Before the people could swallow it, he became very angry with them. He struck them with a terrible plague.34So the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah. That’s where the bodies of the people who had wished for other food were buried.35From Kibroth Hattaavah the people travelled to Hazeroth. And they stayed there.
Numbers 11
King James Version
1And 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.2And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.3And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.4And 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?5We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:6But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.7And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.8And 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.9And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.10Then 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.11And 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?12Have 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?13Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.14I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.15And 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.16And 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.17And 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.18And 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.19Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;20But 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?21And 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.22Shall 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?23And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD' hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.24And 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.25And 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.26But 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.27And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.28And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.29And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD' people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!30And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.31And 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' journey on this side, and as it were a day' journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.32And 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.33And 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.34And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.35And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
1Als das Volk die Ohren des HERRN mit Klagen über sein böses Los erfüllte, entbrannte sein Zorn; das Feuer des HERRN brach bei ihnen aus und griff am Rand des Lagers um sich. (Ex 14:11; De 9:22)2Da schrie das Volk zu Mose und Mose legte Fürbitte beim HERRN für sie ein. Darauf ging das Feuer wieder aus. (Ex 32:11; Nu 14:13; Nu 21:7)3Daher nannte man den Namen jenes Ortes Tabera, Brand, denn das Feuer des HERRN war gegen sie entbrannt.
Ablehnung des Manna und die Gabe der Wachteln
4Die Leute, die sich ihnen angeschlossen hatten, wurden von der Gier gepackt und auch die Israeliten begannen wieder zu weinen und sagten: Wenn uns doch jemand Fleisch zu essen gäbe! (Ex 12:38; 1Co 10:6)5Wir denken an die Fische, die wir in Ägypten umsonst zu essen bekamen, an die Gurken und Melonen, an den Lauch, an die Zwiebeln und an den Knoblauch. (Ex 16:3)6Doch jetzt vertrocknet uns die Kehle, nichts bekommen wir zu sehen als immer nur Manna. (Ex 16:1; Nu 21:5)7Das Manna war wie Koriandersamen und es sah wie Bdelliumharz aus. (Ge 2:12; Ex 16:13)8Das Volk streifte umher und sammelte es, mahlte es mit der Handmühle oder zerstampfte es mit dem Mörser, kochte es in einem Topf oder bereitete daraus Brotfladen. Sein Geschmack war wie der Geschmack von Ölgebäck.9Wenn bei Nacht der Tau auf das Lager herabkam, kam auch das Manna herab.10Mose hörte das Volk weinen, nach Sippen getrennt, jeder am Eingang seines Zeltes. Da entbrannte der Zorn des HERRN; in den Augen des Mose war es böse.11Da sagte Mose zum HERRN: Warum warst du so böse zu deinem Knecht und warum habe ich keine Gnade in deinen Augen gefunden, dass du mir die Last dieses ganzen Volkes auflädst? (Ex 5:22; Ex 33:12)12War ich denn mit diesem ganzen Volk schwanger oder habe ich es geboren, dass du zu mir sagst: Trag es an deiner Brust, wie die Amme den Säugling trägt, in das Land, das du seinen Vätern mit einem Eid verheißen hast? (De 1:31; Isa 45:9; Isa 49:14; Isa 66:13; Ho 11:4)13Woher soll ich für dieses ganze Volk Fleisch nehmen? Sie weinen vor mir und sagen zu mir: Gib uns Fleisch zu essen!14Ich kann dieses ganze Volk nicht allein tragen, es ist mir zu schwer. (Ex 18:18)15Wenn du mich so behandelst, dann bring mich lieber um. Wenn ich Gnade in deinen Augen gefunden habe, werde ich mein Unheil nicht mehr schauen. (Ex 32:32; Ex 33:13)16Da sprach der HERR zu Mose: Versammle mir siebzig von den Ältesten Israels, die du kennst, weil sie die Ältesten des Volkes und seine Listenführer sind; bring sie zum Offenbarungszelt! Dort sollen sie mit dir zusammen hintreten. (Ex 24:1)17Dann komme ich herab und rede dort mit dir. Ich nehme etwas von dem Geist, der auf dir ruht, und lege ihn auf sie. So können sie mit dir zusammen an der Last des Volkes tragen und du musst sie nicht mehr allein tragen. (Ex 18:22)18Zum Volk aber sollst du sagen: Heiligt euch für morgen, dann werdet ihr Fleisch zu essen haben. Denn ihr habt dem HERRN die Ohren vollgeweint und gesagt: Wenn uns doch jemand Fleisch zu essen gäbe! In Ägypten ging es uns gut. Der HERR wird euch Fleisch geben und ihr werdet essen. (Ex 19:10; Nu 11:4)19Nicht nur einen Tag werdet ihr es essen, nicht zwei Tage, nicht fünf Tage, nicht zehn Tage und nicht zwanzig Tage,20sondern einen Monat lang, bis es euch zur Nase herauskommt und ihr euch davor ekelt. Denn ihr habt den HERRN, der mitten unter euch ist, verworfen und habt vor ihm geweint und gesagt: Warum sind wir aus Ägypten weggezogen?21Da entgegnete Mose: Sechshunderttausend Mann zu Fuß zählt das Volk, in dessen Mitte ich bin, und du sagst: Ich gebe ihnen Fleisch, sodass sie einen Monat lang zu essen haben? (Ex 12:37)22Soll man etwa alle Schafe, Ziegen und Rinder für sie schlachten, dass es für sie ausreicht? Oder kann man alle Fische des Meeres für sie fangen, dass es für sie ausreicht?23Der HERR antwortete Mose: Ist etwa die Hand des HERRN zu kurz? Jetzt wirst du sehen, ob mein Wort für dich eintrifft oder nicht. (Ps 78:18; Isa 50:2)24Mose ging hinaus und teilte dem Volk die Worte des HERRN mit. Dann versammelte er siebzig von den Ältesten des Volkes und stellte sie rings um das Zelt auf.25Der HERR kam in der Wolke herab und redete mit Mose. Er nahm etwas von dem Geist, der auf ihm ruhte, und legte ihn auf die siebzig Ältesten. Sobald der Geist auf ihnen ruhte, redeten sie prophetisch. Danach aber nicht mehr. (Ne 9:20; Joe 3:1)26Zwei Männer aber waren im Lager geblieben; der eine hieß Eldad, der andere Medad. Auch über sie kam der Geist. Sie gehörten zu den Aufgezeichneten, waren aber nicht zum Offenbarungszelt hinausgegangen. Auch sie redeten prophetisch im Lager.27Ein junger Mann lief zu Mose und berichtete ihm: Eldad und Medad sind im Lager zu Propheten geworden.28Da ergriff Josua, der Sohn Nuns, der von Jugend an der Diener des Mose gewesen war, das Wort und sagte: Mose, mein Herr, hindere sie daran! (Ex 24:13)29Doch Mose sagte zu ihm: Willst du dich für mich ereifern? Wenn nur das ganze Volk des HERRN zu Propheten würde, wenn nur der HERR seinen Geist auf sie alle legte! (Joe 3:1)30Dann zog sich Mose mit den Ältesten Israels in das Lager zurück.31Darauf erhob sich ein Wind vom HERRN her und trieb Wachteln vom Meer herüber. Er warf sie auf das Lager, etwa einen Tagesmarsch weit in der einen Richtung und einen Tagesmarsch weit in der anderen Richtung rings um das Lager; ungefähr zwei Ellen hoch lagen sie auf dem Erdboden. (Ex 16:6)32Da stand das Volk auf und sammelte die Wachteln ein, den ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht und den ganzen folgenden Tag. Jeder sammelte mindestens zehn Hómer. Sie legten sie rings um das Lager aus.[1]33Sie hatten das Fleisch noch zwischen den Zähnen, es war noch nicht gegessen, da entbrannte der Zorn des HERRN gegen das Volk und der HERR schlug das Volk mit einem sehr schweren Schlag. (Ps 78:30)34Daher nannte man den Ort Kibrot-Hataawa, denn dort begrub man das gierige Volk. (Nu 33:17; De 9:22)35Von Kibrot-Hataawa brach das Volk nach Hazerot auf. Und sie waren in Hazerot.
