Numbers 11

Gen Z: Numbers 11

1When the squad started complaining, it was a whole vibe check for the Lord; He heard them and got mad, and His fire popped off and roasted the people at the back of the camp.

2The crew cried to Moses, and when he prayed to the Lord, the fire was like, "Nah, we chill now."

3He named the spot Taberah 'cause the Lord's fire was lit there.

4The mixed crowd was getting all extra, and the Israelites started crying again, like, "Who’s gonna hook us up with some meat?"

5We remember the fish we used to munch on in Egypt; the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic were all bussin'.

6But now we’re feeling all dried up; it’s just this manna in front of us, and it’s kinda sus.

7The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked all fancy like bdellium.

8The people were out here gathering it, grinding it, baking it, and making cakes; it tasted like fresh oil, no cap.

9When the dew hit the camp at night, the manna dropped like it was meant to be.

10Moses heard the fam crying at their tents, and the Lord got super mad; Moses was feeling some type of way too.

11Moses was like, "Yo, God, why you gotta put this stress on me? Where's my favor at? This burden's too much, fr."

12"Did I birth all these people? Am I their dad? Why you telling me to carry them like a baby to the promised land?"

13"Where am I supposed to get meat for all these peeps? They're crying for food, saying, 'Feed us, we hungry!'"

14"I can't handle all these folks by myself, it's way too heavy, no cap."

15"If you’re gonna keep it up like this, just take me out, please. If I got your favor, I don't wanna see my struggle."

16God told Moses, "Gather 70 of the elders from Israel, the ones you know are legit, and bring them to the tabernacle so they can vibe with you."

17"I’ll roll down and chat with you there, take some of your spirit and put it on them, so they can help carry the load with you."

18"Tell the people to get ready for tomorrow, they gonna eat meat. They’ve been crying to me like, 'Who’s gonna feed us?' They miss Egypt, so I’ll hook them up."

19"You ain't just eating for a day or two, not even five or ten days;"

20"But for a whole month, till it’s coming outta your nose and you can’t stand it, ‘cause you’ve dissed the Lord who’s with you, crying about Egypt."

21Moses was like, "Yo, there’s six hundred thousand peeps here, and you said you’d hook them up with meat for a whole month. No cap."

22"You tryna kill all the flocks and herds for them, or gather all the fish in the sea? Like, is that even possible?"

23And the Lord was like, "Is my hand too short? You’ll see if my word hits different or nah."

24Moses bounced out and dropped the Lord's message to the squad, gathering the seventy elders and setting them around the tabernacle.

25Then the Lord showed up in a cloud, spoke to Moses, took some of his spirit, and gave it to the seventy elders. They started prophesying and didn’t stop.

26But two dudes stayed in the camp, Eldad and Medad, and the spirit was on them too. They didn’t roll out to the tabernacle but were still prophesying in the camp.

27A young dude ran over to Moses and said, "Eldad and Medad are out here prophesying in the camp!"

28And Joshua, Moses' young homie, was like, "Yo, Moses, tell them to chill."

29Moses replied, "You jealous for me? I wish all the Lord's people were prophets and that He’d put His spirit on them!"

30Moses went back into the camp with the elders of Israel.

31A wind rolled in from the Lord, bringing quails from the sea, and they fell all around the camp, like a day’s journey on each side, chillin' two cubits high on the ground.

32The people were up all day, all night, and into the next day, gathering quails: the least gathered ten homers, and they spread them everywhere around the camp.

33While they were munching on the meat, before they even chewed, the Lord got mad at the people and hit them with a major plague.

34He named that spot Kibroth–hattaavah: 'cause that's where they buried the peeps who were super thirsty.

35The crew moved from Kibroth–hattaavah to Hazeroth and set up camp there.

KJV: Numbers 11

1And 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.

2And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.

3And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

4And 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?

5We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

6But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

7And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

8And 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.

9And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

10Then 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.

11And 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?

12Have 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?

13Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

14I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

15And 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.

16And 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.

17And 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.

18And 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.

19Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

20But 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?

21And 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.

22Shall 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?

23And 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.

24And 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.

25And 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.

26But 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.

27And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

28And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

29And 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!

30And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31And 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.

32And 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.

33And 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.

34And he called the name of that place Kibroth–hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

35And the people journeyed from Kibroth–hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
