“at this point the priest will make the woman take the oath with the sworn curse, and he is to say to her — ‘May the LORD make you into an object of your people’s cursing and swearing when he makes your womb[fn] shrivel and your belly swell.
“When he makes her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings a curse will enter her to cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, and her womb will shrivel. She will become a curse among her people.

Now the people began complaining openly before[fn] the LORD about hardship. When the LORD heard, his anger burned, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.
Then the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.
The people walked around and gathered it. They ground it on a pair of grinding stones or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot and shaped it into cakes. It tasted like a pastry cooked with the finest oil.
Moses heard the people, family after family, weeping at the entrance of their tents. The LORD was very angry; Moses was also provoked.[fn]
So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have you brought such trouble on your servant? Why are you angry with me,[fn] and why do you burden me with all these people?
“Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth so you should tell me, ‘Carry them at your breast, as a nursing mother carries a baby,’ to the land that you swore to give their ancestors?
“Where can I get meat to give all these people? For they are weeping to me, ‘Give us meat to eat! ’
The LORD answered Moses, “Bring me seventy men from Israel known to you as elders and officers of the people. Take them to the tent of meeting and have them stand there with you.
“Then I will come down and speak with you there. I will take some of the Spirit who is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.
“Tell the people: Consecrate yourselves in readiness for tomorrow, and you will eat meat because you wept in the LORD’s hearing, ‘Who will feed us meat? We were better off in Egypt.’ The LORD will give you meat and you will eat.
But Moses replied, “I’m in the middle of a people with six hundred thousand foot soldiers, yet you say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD. He brought seventy men from the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
But Moses asked him, “Are you jealous on my account? If only all the LORD’s people were prophets and the LORD would place his Spirit on them! ”
While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD’s anger burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a very severe plague.

So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was brought back in.

Then Caleb quieted the people in the presence of Moses and said, “Let’s go up now and take possession of the land because we can certainly conquer it! ”
But the men who had gone up with him responded, “We can’t attack the people because they are stronger than we are! ”
So they gave a negative report to the Israelites about the land they had scouted: “The land we passed through to explore is one that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great size.
“Only don’t rebel against the LORD, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land, for we will devour them. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us. Don’t be afraid of them! ”
The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people despise me? How long will they not trust in me despite all the signs I have performed among them?
But Moses replied to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear about it, for by your strength you brought up this people from them.
“They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, LORD, are among these people, how you, LORD, are seen face to face, how your cloud stands over them, and how you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
“If you kill this people with a single blow,[fn] the nations that have heard of your fame will declare,
“‘Since the LORD wasn’t able to bring this people into the land he swore to give them, he has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
“Please pardon the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of your faithful love, just as you have forgiven them from Egypt until now.”
When Moses reported these words to all the Israelites, the people were overcome with grief.
“The entire Israelite community and the alien who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
“But the person who acts defiantly,[fn] whether native or resident alien, blasphemes the LORD. That person is to be cut off from his people.
The next day the entire Israelite community complained about Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people! ”
So Aaron took his firepan as Moses had ordered, ran into the middle of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the people. After he added incense, he made atonement for the people.

Yet Edom insisted, “You may not travel through.” And they came out to confront them with a large force of heavily-armed people.[fn]
“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land I have given the Israelites, because you both rebelled against my command at the Waters of Meribah.
Then Israel made a vow to the LORD, “If you will hand this people over to us, we will completely destroy their cities.”
Then they set out from Mount Hor by way of the Red Sea to bypass the land of Edom, but the people became impatient because of the journey.
The people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you led us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food! ”
Then the LORD sent poisonous[fn] snakes among the people, and they bit them so that many Israelites died.
