Numbers 11:18–23

¹⁸“Say to the people, ‘^aConsecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept ^bin the ears of the Lord, saying, “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.

¹⁹‘You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,

²⁰¹but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because ^ayou 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, are 600,000 on foot; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.’

²²“Should flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Or should all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”

²³The Lord said to Moses, “Is ^athe Lord’s ¹power limited? Now you shall see whether ^bMy word will ²come true for you or not.”
