Numbers 11:18–23

¹⁸And say thou unto the people, ^dSanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? ^efor it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. ¹⁹Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; ²⁰But even a ^†whole month, ^funtil it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, ^gWhy came we forth out of Egypt? ²¹And Moses said, ^hThe 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. ²²Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to ⁱsuffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to ⁱsuffice them? ²³And the Lord said unto Moses, ^kIs the Lord’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether ^lmy word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
