The LORD said to Moses, “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders, men that you know are leaders among the people. Bring them to the Meeting Tent, and have them stand there with you. I will come down and speak with you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is in you, and I will give it to them. They will help you care for the people so that you will not have to care for them alone. “Tell the people this: ‘Make yourselves holy for tomorrow, and you will eat meat. You cried to the LORD, “We want meat! We were better off in Egypt!” So now the LORD will give you meat to eat. You will eat it not for just one, two, five, ten, or even twenty days, but you will eat that meat for a whole month. You will eat it until it comes out your nose, and you will grow to hate it. This is because you have rejected the LORD, who is with you. You have cried to him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ” Moses said, “LORD, here are six hundred thousand people standing around me, and you say, ‘I will give them enough meat to eat for a month!’ If we killed all the flocks and herds, that would not be enough. If we caught all the fish in the sea, that would not be enough.” But the LORD said to Moses, “Do you think I’m weak? Now you will see if I can do what I say.”
