‘Tell the people as follows: Prepare yourselves for tomorrow, for you will then have meat to eat. You have been whining in God’s ears, saying, ‘Who’s going to give us some meat to eat? It was better for us in Egypt!’ Now God is going to give you meat, and you will have to eat it.

Ve’el-ha’am tomar hitkadeshu lemachar va’achaltem basar ki bechitem be’ozney Adonay lemor mi ya’achilenu basar ki-tov lanu beMitsrayim venatan Adonay lachem basar va’achaltem.

But for a full month [you will eat it] until it is coming out of your nose and making you nauseated. This is because you rejected God [now that He] is among you, and you whined before Him, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’ ‘

Ad chodesh yamim ad asher-yetse me’apchem vehayah lachem lezara ya’an ki-me’astem et-Adonay asher bekirbechem vativku lefanav lemor lamah zeh yatsanu miMitsrayim.

11:25
God descended in the cloud, and spoke to [Moses]. He caused the spirit that had been imparted on [Moses] to emanate, and He bestowed it upon the seventy elders. When the spirit descended on them, they gained the gift of prophecy and did not lose it.

11:26
Two men remained in the camp, and the spirit [also] rested on them. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the second was Medad. Although they were among those registered, they did not go out to the [Communion] Tent, but they spoke prophetically in the camp.

Vayisha’aru shney-anashim bamachaneh shem ha’echad Eldad veshem hasheni Meydad vatanach alehem haruach vehemah baktuvim velo yats’u ha’ohelah vayitnabe’u bamachaneh.

‘Are you jealous for my sake?’ replied Moses. ‘I only wish that all of God’s people would have the gift of prophecy! Let God grant His spirit to them [all]!’

Vayomer lo Moshe hamekane atah li umi yiten kol-am Adonay nevi’im ki-yiten Adonay et-rucho aleyhem.
