And Moses said unto him: enviest thou
for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people could prophesy,
and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them. And then both
Moses and the elders of Israel, gat them into the host. And there
went forth a wind from the LORD and brought quails from the sea
and let them fall about the host, even a day's journey round about
on every side of the host, and two cubits high upon the earth. And
the people stood up all that night and on the morrow, and gathered
quails. And he that gathered the least, gathered ten homers full.
And they killed them round about the host. And while the flesh was
yet between their teeth, yer it was chewed up, the wrath of the
LORD waxed hot upon the people, and the LORD slew of the people an
exceeding mighty slaughter. And they called the name of the place,
the graves of lust: because they buried the people that lusted
there. And the people took their journey from the graves of lust
{kibrath hathavah} unto Hazeroth, and bode at Hazeroth.
Chapter .xij.
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, because of his wife of
Inde which he had taken: for he had taken to wife one of India.
And they said: doth the LORD speak only thorow Moses? doth he not
speak also by us? And the LORD heard it.
