29. Moses answered, “Are you concerned about my interests? I wish that the Lord would give his Spirit to all his people and make all of them shout like prophets!”
30. Then Moses and the seventy leaders of Israel went back to camp.
31. Suddenly the Lord sent a wind that brought quails from the sea, flying less than a metre above the ground. They settled on the camp and all round it for many kilometres in every direction.
32. So all that day, all night, and all the next day, the people worked catching quails; no one gathered less than a thousand kilogrammes. They spread them out to dry all round the camp.
33. While there was still plenty of meat for them to eat, the Lord became angry with the people and caused an epidemic to break out among them.
34. That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah (which means “Graves of Craving”), because there they buried the people who had craved meat.
