There are a couple of exciting chapters in the book of Numbers and chapter 11 is one of those. One of my favorite verses in all of scripture is in this chapter.

Numbers 11 

When the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed them that were in the outlying parts of the camp.

2 And the people cried to Moses; and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.

3 He called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burned among them.

4 The rabble among them had a strong craving: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who shall give us meat to eat?

5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, the melons,  the leeks, the onions and the garlic. 

6 But now our appetite is gone. There is nothing here beside this manna, before our eyes.”

7 The manna was as coriander seed, and the color of it was like that 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 like cakes baked with fresh oil.

9 When the dew fell on 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, and Moses was displeased.

11 Moses said to the LORD “Why have you afflicted your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all these people on me?

12 Have I conceived all these people? Have I fathered them, that you shouldest say to me ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing mother carries a child, to the land which you swore to their fathers?’

13 Where will I get meat to give to all these people? For they weep to me, saying ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’

14 I am not able to bear this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

15 And if this is how you deal with me, please kill me now. If you are pleased with me, do not let me see my misery.” 

16 The LORD said to Moses “Gather before me 70 men of the elders of Israel, that you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you.

17 And I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take some of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you do not bear it alone. 

18 Say to the people “Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat: for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying ‘Who shall give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.’ Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.

19 You shall not eat one day, nor two days, or even five, ten or twenty days;

20 But a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils, and it becomes loathsome to you: because you have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, ‘Why did we come out of Egypt?’”

21 And Moses said “The people I am among are six hundred thousand foot soldiers; and you have said ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.’

22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slaughtered for them, and be enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together and be enough for them?”

23 And the LORD said to Moses “Is the LORD’S hand shortened? You will see whether or not my word will come to pass.”

24 Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the 70 men of the elders of the people, and set them around the tabernacle.

25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and gave it to the seventy elders: and when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not do it again. 

26 But two of the men remained in the camp, the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; they were among those who were listed, but they did not go to the tabernacle,  and they prophesied in the camp.

27 A young man ran and told Moses “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said”My LORD Moses, forbid them.”

29 But Moses said to him “Are you envious for my sake? Would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his Spirit upon them!”

30 Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31 And a wind went out from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, for the length of a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and they were three feet high on the face of the earth.

32 The people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: the least anyone gathered was 50 bushels: and they spread them out for themselves around the camp.

33 And while the flesh was still between their teeth, as they were chewing, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.

34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah: because there they buried the people that craved meat.

35 Then the people journeyed from Kibroth Hattaavah unto Hazeroth, and stayed there. .
