21. Moses said, "The people I’m with are six hundred thousand on foot and you’re saying, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
22. Can flocks and herds be found and slaughtered for them? Or can all the fish in the sea be found and caught for them?"
23. The Lord said to Moses, "Is the Lord’s power too weak? Now you will see whether my word will come true for you or not."
24. So Moses went out and told the people the Lord’s words. He assembled seventy men from the people’s elders and placed them around the tent.
25. The Lord descended in a cloud, spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and placed it on the seventy elders. When the spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only this once.
