Numbers 10:35-11:3

English Standard Version

³⁵ And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, ^(A)“Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” ³⁶ And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”

The People Complain

11 And ^(B)the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, ^(C)his anger was kindled, and ^(D)the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. ² Then ^(E)the people cried out to Moses, ^(F)and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died down. ³ So the name of that place was called ^(G)Taberah,^[a] because the fire of the Lord burned among them.
