Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 11:1 | And 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. |
| 11:2 | And the people cried to Moses; and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched. |
| 11:3 | And he called the name of the place Taberah; because the fire of the LORD burnt among them. |
| 11:4 | And the mixed multitude that was among them fell to lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? |
| 11:5 | We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt freely: the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: |
| 11:6 | But now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes. |
| 11:7 | And the manna was as coriander-seed, and the color of it as the color of bdellium. |
| 11:8 | And 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. |
| 11:9 | And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. |
| 11:10 | Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly: Moses also was displeased. |
| 11:11 | And Moses said to the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? and why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? |
| 11:12 | Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father beareth the sucking child, to the land which thou sworest to their fathers? |
| 11:13 | Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. |
| 11:14 | I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. |
| 11:15 | And if thou dealest thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. |
| 11:16 | And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to 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 to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. |
| 11:17 | And 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 mayest not bear it thyself alone. |
| 11:18 | And say thou to 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. |
| 11:19 | Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; |
| 11:20 | But even a whole month, until it shall come out at your nostrils, and it be lothsome to you; because ye have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? |
| 11:21 | And 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. |
| 11:22 | Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice for them? |
| 11:23 | And the LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD'S hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass to thee, or not. |
| 11:24 | And 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 around the tabernacle. |
| 11:25 | And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it to the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that when the spirit rested upon them; they prophesied, and did not cease. |
| 11:26 | But 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 described, but went not out to the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp. |
| 11:27 | And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. |
| 11:28 | And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord, Moses, forbid them. |
| 11:29 | And Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? I would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them. |
| 11:30 | And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. |
| 11:31 | And 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, around the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. |
| 11:32 | And 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 around the camp. |
| 11:33 | And 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. |
| 11:34 | And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted. |
| 11:35 | And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth: and abode at Hazeroth. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
