Num 10:29 ¶ Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you'; come with us and we will do you good, for the LORD has promised good concerning Israel."
Num 10:30 But he said to him, "I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives."
Num 10:31 Then he said, "Please do not leave us, inasmuch as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.
Num 10:32 "So it will be, if you go with us, that whatever good the LORD does for us, we will do for you."
Num 10:33 ¶ Thus they set out from the mount of the LORD three days' journey, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD journeying in front of them for the three days, to seek out a resting place for them.
Num 10:34 The cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
Num 10:35 ¶ Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, "Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You."
Num 10:36 When it came to rest, he said, "Return, O LORD, To the myriad thousands of Israel."
Num 11:1 Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
Num 11:2 The people therefore cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the LORD and the fire died out.
Num 11:3 So the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burned among them.
Num 11:4 ¶ The rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, "Who will give us meat to eat?
Num 11:5 "We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,
Num 11:6 but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna."
Num 11:7 ¶ Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium.
Num 11:8 The people would go about and gather it and grind it between two millstones or beat it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste was as the taste of cakes baked with oil.
Num 11:9 When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
Num 11:10 ¶ Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.
Num 11:11 So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me?
Num 11:12 "Was it I who conceived all this people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers'?
