19Not for one day only, or even for five or ten or twenty days;
20But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?
21Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.
22Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?
23And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.
24And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent.
25Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.
