And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me? <span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Was it I who conceived all this people?

For it was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you shall eat. <span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, <span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span><span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because you have rejected Yahweh who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever go out from Egypt?”’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>But Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are 600,000 on foot; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Should flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Or should all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And Yahweh said to Moses, “Is Yahweh’s <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>power limited? Now you shall see whether My word will happen for you or not.” <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>So Moses went out and told the people the words of Yahweh. Also, he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent. <span class="reftext"><a href="/numbers/11-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Then Yahweh came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who was upon him and placed <i>Him</i> upon the seventy elders.
