民の不満
11 まもなく、人々が主に対して激しく不平を言い始めました。主はそれを聞いて非常に怒り、野営地を端から焼き払おうとしました。 2 驚いた彼らが、「た、大変だ！ 何とかしてくれ」と叫んだので、モーセが祈ると、火はようやく消えました。 3 その事件があってから、そこはタブエラ（「燃える地」の意）と呼ばれるようになりました。そこで主が、イスラエル人を焼き滅ぼそうとされたからです。
4-5 それが一段落すると、イスラエル人に混じって来たエジプト人が食べ物のことで文句を言い始め、おまけに一部のイスラエル人までが、いっしょになって不満をぶちまけました。「ああ、ひと口でもいいから肉が食べたい。エジプトの魚はうまかったなあ。それに、きゅうり、すいか、にら、玉ねぎ、にんにく。思い出すだけでもよだれが出そうだ。 6 なのに今はどうだ。毎日毎日こんなマナばっかりじゃ、力も出ない。」
7 マナはコエンドロ（コリアンダー。セリ科の一年草で、夏、白い小さな花をつける）の種ぐらいで、白っぽい樹脂のような色をしていました。 8 それを拾い集め、つぶして粉にするか、臼でつくかしてから、蒸してパンを作るのです。味は油で揚げたパンのようでした。 9 マナは夜の間に露といっしょに降りました。
10 人々がそれぞれ自分の天幕の入口に集まって泣き言を言っているのを聞くと、主はまた憤りを覚えました。モーセも同じでした。 11 モーセはとうとう主にぐちをこぼしました。「なぜ、こんなに手のかかる連中の面倒を見させて、私をお苦しめになるのですか。 12 どうして、親子でも何でもないのに、こんな赤ん坊みたいな者たちを、約束の国まで連れて行かなければならないのですか。 13 『肉が欲しい』と泣きつかれても、どこで手に入れたらよいのでしょうか。 14 私ひとりでは手に負えません。荷が重すぎます。 15 これ以上苦しみが続くのでしたら、もうたくさんです。いっそ、今すぐ私を殺してください。」
16 主は答えました。「指導者を七十人選び、幕屋へ連れて来て、あなたといっしょに立たせなさい。 17 わたしはそこであなたと話し、あなたの仕事を手伝えるように、彼らにもあなたと同じ霊の力を与えよう。 18 それから、人々に身をきよめるように言いなさい。明日、肉が食べられると言いなさい。『おまえたちが、エジプトに残してきたものを泣くほど恋しがり、不平を言うのを、主はお聞きになった。望みどおり肉を下さるそうだ。 19-20 それも、一日や二日ではない。五日、十日、二十日、いやそれ以上、毎日だ。まる一か月も食べ続ければ吐き気を催し、もう、うんざりだと言うだろう。主がいっしょにおられるのに見向きもせず、泣いてエジプトを恋しがった罰だ。』」
21 モーセは言いました。「ですが主よ、男だけでも六十万人はおります。その全員に一か月分の肉とは！ 22 羊と牛を全部殺しても足りません。海の魚を一匹残らず捕り尽くさないかぎり、とてもそれだけの肉は手に入りません。」
23 「モーセよ。いつからわたしはそんなに弱くなったのか。わたしの言うことがほんとうかどうか、今にわかる。」
24 モーセは幕屋を出て、人々にそのことばを伝えました。それから七十人の長老を集め、幕屋の回りに立たせました。 25 と、どうでしょう。主が雲の中に身を隠して降りて来られ、モーセと話をしているではありませんか。そして主は、モーセに与えた霊の力を長老たちにも与えました。すると、しばらくの間、彼らは預言をしたのです。
26 ところが、エルダデとメダデの二人はその時、野営地内に残っていたのに他の長老たちと同じように預言し始めました。 27 そのことを、一人の若者が走って伝えに来ると、 28 モーセが助手に選んだヌンの子ヨシュアはモーセに、「そんなことはやめさせてください」と抗議しました。
29 「おまえは二人のことをねたんでいるようだ。だが、私は、イスラエル人がみな主の霊を頂き、預言者になってくれたらどんなにいいかと思っているのだ。」 30 こう答えると、モーセは長老たちと共に野営地に帰りました。
31 さて次の日、主が風を起こすと、それに乗って海の向こうからうずらが飛んで来て、野営地の回りに落ちました。どの方向に進んでも、一日の道のりの所にうずらが落ちています。それも九十センチほどの高さに、びっしり敷き詰めたようになっているのです。 32 人々は、その日一日では足りず、夜の間も翌日もずっと、うずらを集めました。一番少ない者でも山ほど集めることができ、それを野営地中に広げて干しました。 33 ところが、その肉を食べ尽くさないうちに主の罰が下り、大ぜいの者が疫病にかかって死にました。 34 それから、この場所は、キブロテ・ハタアワ（「欲望の墓場」の意）と呼ばれるようになりました。人々が肉を欲しがり、エジプトでの生活を恋しがった人々を埋葬したからです。 35 このあと人々はハツェロテまで行き、しばらく滞在しました。

Fire From the Lord
11 Now the people complained(A) about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord,(B) and when he heard them his anger was aroused.(C) Then fire from the Lord burned among them(D) and consumed(E) some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed(F) to the Lord(G) and the fire died down. 3 So that place was called Taberah,[a](H) because fire from the Lord had burned among them.(I)
Quail From the Lord
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,(J) and again the Israelites started wailing(K) and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.(L) 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!(M)”
7 The manna was like coriander seed(N) and looked like resin.(O) 8 The people went around gathering it,(P) and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 9 When the dew(Q) settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.
10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing(R) at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11 He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought this trouble(S) on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?(T) 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant,(U) to the land you promised on oath(V) to their ancestors?(W) 13 Where can I get meat for all these people?(X) They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.(Y) 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me(Z)—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
16 The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders(AA) who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people.(AB) Have them come to the tent of meeting,(AC) that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and speak with you(AD) there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them.(AE) They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.(AF)
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves(AG) in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed,(AH) “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”(AI) Now the Lord will give you meat,(AJ) and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it(AK)—because you have rejected the Lord,(AL) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(AM)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(AN) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(AO)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(AP) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(AQ)”
24 So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. He brought together seventy of their elders and had them stand around the tent. 25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud(AR) and spoke with him,(AS) and he took some of the power of the Spirit(AT) that was on him and put it on the seventy elders.(AU) When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied(AV)—but did not do so again.
26 However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them,(AW) and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Joshua son of Nun,(AX) who had been Moses’ aide(AY) since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”(AZ)
29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets(BA) and that the Lord would put his Spirit(BB) on them!”(BC) 30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
31 Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail(BD) in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[b] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 32 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers.[c] Then they spread them out all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth(BE) and before it could be consumed, the anger(BF) of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.(BG) 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[d](BH) because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth(BI) and stayed there.

Numbers 11
King James Version
11 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord'S people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!
30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
