70 elders chosen to help Moses

Numbers 11

16 ¶  And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto 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 unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

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 bear it not thyself alone.

18  And say thou unto 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.

19  Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

20  But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

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.

22  Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

23  And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

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 round about the tabernacle.

25  And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

Prophecy in the camp

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 written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

27  And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

28  And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

29  And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

30  And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

Quail given and the plague for sin

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, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

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 round about the camp.

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.

34  And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

People move from Kibroth to Hazeroth

35  And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

Miriam’s leprosy for sin

Numbers 12

1 ¶  And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2  And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

3  (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4 ¶  And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

5  And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6  And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7  My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8  With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

9  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 ¶  And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

11  And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

12  Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.

13  And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

14  And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

15  And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. June 2-9, 1461 B.C.

People move from Kadesh-Barnea to the crossing of the Jordan, Aug 20, 1461 – Apr 14, 1422

Prior to years of wandering, spies sent out, Aug 20, 1461 B.C.

Numbers 13

1 ¶  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2  Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.

3  And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

4  And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

5  Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

6  Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

7  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

8  Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.

9  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.

10  Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.

11  Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.

12  Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

13  Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

14  Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.

15  Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

16  These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.

17  And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

18  And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

19  And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;

20  And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

21 ¶  So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

22  And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

23  And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

24  The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

Deuteronomy 1

21  Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

22  And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.

23  And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

24  And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

Spies return, Sept 30, 1461 B.C.

Numbers 13

25  And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

26 ¶  And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

27  And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

28  Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

29  The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

30  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

31  But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.

32  And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

33  And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
