Numbers 11:20-22
Living Bible
19-20 not for just a day or two, or five or ten or even twenty! For one whole month you will have meat until you vomit it from your noses; for you have rejected the Lord who is here among you, and you have wept for Egypt.’”
21 But Moses said, “There are 600,000 men alone besides all the women and children,[a] and yet you promise them meat for a whole month! 22 If we butcher all our flocks and herds it won’t be enough! We would have to catch every fish in the ocean to fulfill your promise!”

Numbers 11:20-22
New International Version
20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it(A)—because you have rejected the Lord,(B) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(C)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(D) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(E)
