Numbers 11 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

The People Complain

Num 11:5

Num 11:5We remember the fish, which we ate in Mitzrayim for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:

Num 11:6

Num 11:6but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look on.

Num 11:7

Num 11:7The manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium.

The Complaint of Moses

Num 11:10

Num 11:10Moshe heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moshe was displeased.

Num 11:11

Num 11:11Moshe said to the LORD, Why have you dealt ill with your servant? and why haven't I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?

Num 11:12

Num 11:12Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing-father carries the sucking child, to the land which you swore to their fathers?

Num 11:13

Num 11:13Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

Num 11:14

Num 11:14I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

Num 11:15

Num 11:15If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

Num 11:17

Num 11:18

Num 11:18Say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Mitzrayim: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and you shall eat.
