It is a scholarly reference format used for cross-version textual comparison of the Hebrew Bible.\n\nThe passage narrates a crisis of faith and leadership during the Israelites' wilderness wandering: the people complain bitterly about the monotony of manna and nostalgically idealize their diet in Egypt (fish, cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, garlic), demanding meat. God responds in anger, and Moses, overwhelmed, protests to God that the burden of leading 600,000 people alone is unbearable and asks to die rather than continue. God addresses both problems: he distributes Moses' spirit across seventy appointed elders (who then prophesy, including two\u2014Eldad and Medad\u2014who prophesy outside the official assembly), and he sends a massive quail migration to satisfy the people's craving for meat.\n\nThe passage's most distinctive moment is Moses' response to Joshua's attempt to suppress the unauthorized prophesying of Eldad and Medad: Moses rebukes Joshua and expresses the wish that all of God's people were prophets. The episode ends grimly\u2014God strikes the people with plague while the quail flesh is still between their teeth, and the place is named \"Kibroth-hattaavah\" (graves of craving). The dual-text format makes this useful for readers studying translation differences between the Hebrew tradition and the early Greek translation.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Numbers: Numbers 11","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":3237}
