Numbers 11:22-24

International Standard Version

²² What if we were to slaughter our entire inventory of^[a] flocks and herds for them? Would that be enough? What if we could gather all the fish in the sea in nets for them? Would that be enough, either?”

God Rebukes Moses

²³ But the Lord responded to Moses, “Is the Lord short on power?^[b] You’re now going to witness whether what I say will come to pass or not.”

²⁴ So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. He gathered 70 men from the elders of the people and stationed them around the tent.
