Numbers 11:17-25
17 aThen I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take away some of bthe Spirit who is upon you, and put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it by yourself. 18And you shall say to the people, ‘ cConsecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept din the ears of the Lord, saying, “ ▼▼Or Who will give...?
Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For we were well-off in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat and you shall eat. 19You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, 20 ▼▼Lit until a

makes you nauseated; because hyou have rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’” 21But Moses said, “The people, among whom I am included, are six hundred thousand on foot! Yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.’ 22Are flocks and herds to be slaughtered for them, so that it will be sufficient for them? Or are all the fish of the sea to be ▼▼Lit gathered

power too little? Now you shall see whether lMy word will ▼▼Lit happen to you
come true for you or not.” 24 So Moses went out and ntold the people the words of the Lord. He also gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and positioned them around the tent. 25 oThen the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took away some of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. Yet they did not do it again.
