Dân-số Ký 11
Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible
When the people complained, it displeased the Lord. When the Lord heard it, his anger burned, and so the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outer parts of the camp.
When the people cried to Moses, he prayed to the Lord, and the fire died out.
So he called the name of that place Taberah because there the fire of the Lord burned among them.
StudiumBọn dân tạp — Nhóm này là đoàn người không phải dân Y-sơ-ra-ên đã rời khỏi Ê-díp-tô cùng với dân Y-sơ-ra-ên (Xuất 12:38). Sự thèm thịt của họ đã khuấy động tiếng khóc của dân Y-sơ-ra-ên, cho thấy những tiếng nói bên ngoài có thể kéo dân sự của Đức Chúa Trời đến sự bất mãn.(EXO 12:38)Now the mixed multitude who were among them craved more desirable foods, and so the Israelites wept again and said, “If only we had meat to eat!
We remember the fish we used to eat freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
But now we are dried up, and there is nothing at all before us except this manna!”
(Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium.
And the people went about and gathered it, and ground it with mills or pounded it in mortars; they baked it in pans and made cakes of it. It tasted like fresh olive oil.
And when the dew came down on the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.)
Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and when the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly, Moses was also displeased.
And Moses said to the Lord, “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of this entire people on me?
Did I conceive this entire people? Did I give birth to them, that you should say to me, ‘Carry them in your arms, as a foster father bears a nursing child,’ to the land which you swore to their fathers?
From where shall I get meat to give to this entire people, for they cry to me, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat!’
I am not able to bear this entire people alone, because it is too heavy for me!
But if you are going to deal with me like this, then kill me immediately. If I have found favor in your sight then do not let me see my trouble.”
The Lord said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know are elders of the people and officials over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting; let them take their position there with you.
StudiumThần trên bảy mươi người — Đức Chúa Trời không để Môi-se phải gánh nặng một mình; Ngài chia sẻ Thần ban năng quyền cho bảy mươi trưởng lão. Lãnh đạo thuộc linh là một ân tứ được chia sẻ từ Đức Chúa Trời, không phải là tài sản riêng của một cá nhân.Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take part of the spirit that is on you, and will put it on them, and they will bear some of the burden of the people with you, so that you do not bear it all by yourself.
“And say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat, for life was good for us in Egypt?” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you will eat.
You will eat, not just one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
but a whole month, until it comes out your nostrils and makes you sick, because you have despised the Lord who is among you and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we ever come out of Egypt?”’”
Moses said, “The people around me are 600,000 on foot; but you say, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’
Would they have enough if the flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? If all the fish of the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”
StudiumTay của Đức Giê-hô-va đã vắn lại sao? — Tay của Đức Giê-hô-va là một thành ngữ chỉ về quyền năng. Môi-se nghi ngờ làm thế nào lời hứa của Đức Chúa Trời có thể xảy ra; Đức Chúa Trời đáp rằng quyền năng của Ngài không bị giới hạn. Ê-sai 59:1 dùng hình ảnh tương tự: tay của Đức Giê-hô-va không phải ngắn mà không cứu được.(ISA 59:1)And the Lord said to Moses, “Is the Lord’s hand shortened? Now you will see whether my word to you will come true or not!”
So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord. He then gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tabernacle.
And the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to them, and he took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but did not do so again.
But two men remained in the camp; one’s name was Eldad, and the other’s name was Medad. And the spirit rested on them. (Now they were among those in the registration, but had not gone to the tabernacle.) So they prophesied in the camp.
And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his choice young men, said, “My lord Moses, stop them!”
StudiumƯớc muốn của Môi-se cho mọi tiên tri — Môi-se ao ước một ngày mà Thần của Đức Chúa Trời ngự trên mọi dân sự của Ngài, chứ không chỉ một vài nhà lãnh đạo. Hy vọng của ông báo trước lời hứa của Giô-ên rằng Đức Chúa Trời sẽ đổ Thần Ngài trên mọi xác thịt (Giô-ên 2:28), sau đó được ứng nghiệm tại lễ Ngũ Tuần.(JOL 2:28)Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for me? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”
Then Moses returned to the camp along with the elders of Israel.
Now a wind went out from the Lord and brought quail from the sea, and let them fall near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about three feet high on the surface of the ground.
And the people stayed up all that day, all that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail. The one who gathered the least gathered ten homers, and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
But while the meat was still between their teeth, before they chewed it, the anger of the Lord burned against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.
StudiumMồ mả của sự tham muốn — Kíp-rốt Ha-tha-va có nghĩa là mồ mả của sự tham muốn. Đức Chúa Trời đã ban món thịt mà họ đòi hỏi, nhưng điều đó đi kèm với sự phán xét. Thi-thiên 78:30-31 sau đó nhắc lại thời điểm này như một lời cảnh báo chống lại việc thử thách Đức Chúa Trời bằng những tấm lòng đòi hỏi và vô ơn.So the name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people that craved different food.
The people traveled from Kibroth Hattaavah to Hazeroth, and they stayed at Hazeroth.
