19 Ye shall not eat one day nor two days nor five days neither ten days nor twenty days,
20 But even a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and it becomes loathsome unto you, because ye have despised the Lord who is among you and have wept before him, saying, Why have we come forth out of Egypt?
21 Then 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!
22 Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord’s hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 And 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.
25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke unto him and took of the spirit that was in 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.
