27. A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28. Joshua son of Nun, assistant to Moses since his youth, responded, “Moses, my lord, stop them! ”
29. 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!”
30. Then Moses returned to the camp along with the elders of Israel.
31. A wind sent by the Lord came up and blew quail in from the sea; it dropped them at the camp all around, three feet off the ground, about a day’s journey in every direction.
32. The people were up all that day and night and all the next day gathering the quail — the one who took the least gathered 50 bushels — and they spread them out all around the camp.
33. 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.
34. So they named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved the meat.
35. From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth and remained there.
