Numbers 11:28-32 New English Translation (NET)

28. Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his choice young men, said, “My lord Moses, stop them!”

29. Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for me? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”

30. Then Moses returned to the camp along with the elders of Israel.

31. Now a wind went out from the Lord and brought quail from the sea, and let them fall near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about three feet high on the surface of the ground.

32. And the people stayed up all that day, all that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail. The one who gathered the least gathered ten homers, and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
