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 Kibroth-hattaavah: because
there they buried the people that lusted.
[35] And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and
abode at Hazeroth.
Num.12
[1] And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for
he had married an Ethiopian woman.
[2] And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses?
hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
[3] (Now the man Moses was very meek, above
all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
[4] And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and
unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they
three came out.
[5] And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the
tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
[6] And he said, Hear now my words: If
there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak
unto him in a dream.
[7] My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
[8] With him will I
speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall
he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
[9] And the anger of
the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
[10] And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and,
behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was
leprous.
[11] And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein
we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
[12] Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh
is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
[13] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying,
Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit
in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days,
and after that let her be received in again.
[15] And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and
the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
[16] And afterward the people removed from
Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
Num.13
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan,
which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a
ruler among them.
[3] And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of
Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
[4] And these were their names: of the tribe
of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
[5] Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
[6] Of the
tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
[7] Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
[8] Of the
tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
[9] Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
[10] Of the
