27. So, when a young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp,”
28. Joshua, son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses’ aide, said, “My lord, Moses, stop them.”
29. But Moses answered him, “Are you jealous for my sake? If only all the people of the Lord were prophets! If only the Lord would bestow his spirit on them!”
30. Then Moses retired to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
31. There arose a wind from the Lord that drove in quail from the sea and left them all around the camp site, to a distance of a day’s journey and at a depth of two cubits upon the ground.
32. So all that day, all night, and all the next day the people set about to gather in the quail. Even the one who got the least gathered ten homers of them. Then they spread them out all around the camp.
33. But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it could be chewed, the Lord’s wrath flared up against the people, and the Lord struck them with a very great plague.
34. So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah, because it was there that the greedy people were buried.
35. From Kibroth-hattaavah the people set out for Hazeroth, where they stayed.
