Numbers 11:17-25

[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  [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 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  [24] And Moses  went out,  and told  the people  the words  of the LORD,  and gathered  the seventy  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.
