1One day the Israelites started complaining about their troubles. The Lord heard them and became so angry that he destroyed the outer edges of their camp with fire.
2When the people begged Moses to help, he prayed, and the fire went out.
3They named the place “Burning,” because in his anger the Lord had set their camp on fire.
The People Grumble about Being Hungry4One day some foreigners among the Israelites became greedy for food, and even the Israelites themselves began moaning, “We don't have any meat!
5In Egypt we could eat all the fish we wanted, and there were cucumbers, melons, all kinds of onions, and garlic.
6But we're starving out here, and the only food we have is this manna.”
7 from Moses and gave it to the 70 leaders. And when the Lord's Spirit took control of them, they started shouting like prophets. But they did it only this one time.
26Eldad and Medad were two leaders who had not gone to the tent. But when the Spirit took control of them, they began shouting like prophets right there in camp.
27A boy ran to Moses and told him about Eldad and Medad.
28Joshua was there helping Moses, as he had done since he was young. And he said to Moses, “Sir, you must stop them!”
29But Moses replied, “Are you concerned what this might do to me? I wish the Lord would give his Spirit to all his people so everyone could be a prophet.”
30Then Moses and the 70 leaders went back to camp.
The Lord Sends Quails31Some time later the Lord sent a strong wind that blew quails in from the sea until Israel's camp was completely surrounded with birds, piled up about a meter high for many kilometers in every direction.
32The people picked up quails for two days—each person filled at least ten large baskets. Then they spread them out to dry.
33But before the meat could be eaten, the Lord became angry and sent a deadly disease through the camp.
34After they had buried the people who had been so greedy for meat, they called the place “Graves for the Greedy.”
35Israel then broke camp and traveled to Hazeroth.
