Numbers 11:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ Then the LORD said to Moses, “Gather to Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and governors over them. And bring them to the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And let them stand there with you.

¹⁷ “And I will come down and talk with you there and take from the Spirit Which is upon you and put it upon them. And they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so you shall not bear it alone.

¹⁸ “Furthermore, you shall say to the people, ‘Be sanctified for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat. For you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, “Who shall give us meat to eat? For we were better in Egypt.” Therefore, the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.
