27. A young man ran to Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28. Joshua son of Nun said, “Moses, my master, stop them!” (Ever since he was a young boy, Joshua had been Moses’ assistant.)
29. But Moses answered, “Are you jealous for me? I wish all the Lord’s people could prophesy. I wish the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”
30. Then Moses and the leaders of Israel went back to the camp.
31. The Lord sent a strong wind from the sea, and it blew quail into the area all around the camp. The quail were about three feet deep on the ground, and there were quail a day’s walk in any direction.
32. The people went out and gathered quail all that day, that night, and the next day. Everyone gathered at least sixty bushels, and they spread them around the camp.
33. But the Lord became very angry, and he gave the people a terrible sickness that came while the meat was still in their mouths.
34. So the people named that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried those who wanted other food.
35. From Kibroth Hattaavah the people went to stay at Hazeroth.
