Numbers 11:28-32
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
28Then Joshua the son of Nun, the personal servant of Moses from his youth, responded and said, 'My lord Moses, restrain them!' 29But Moses said to him, 'Are you jealous for my sake? If only all the Lord’S people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!' 30Then Moses returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.
31Now a wind burst forth from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea, and dropped them beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side all around the camp, and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.
32And the people spent all that day, all night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the one who gathered least gathered ten homers) and spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
King James Version
Chapter 11
28And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 29And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord'S people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them! 30And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 31And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. 32And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
28Joshua son of Nun, assistant to Moses since his youth, responded, "Moses, my lord, stop them!"
29But Moses asked him, "Are you jealous on my account? If only all the Lord’s people were prophets and the Lord would place his Spirit on them!"
30Then Moses returned to the camp along with the elders of Israel.
31A wind sent by the Lord came up and blew quail in from the sea; it dropped them all around the camp. They were flying three feet off the ground for about a day’s journey in every direction.
32The people were up all that day and night and all the next day gathering the quail—the one who took the least gathered fifty bushels —and they spread them out all around the camp.
New Living Translation
29But Moses replied, 'Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them all!'
30Then Moses returned to the camp with the elders of Israel.
31Now the Lord sent a wind that brought quail from the sea and let them fall all around the camp. For miles in every direction there were quail flying about three feet above the ground.
32So the people went out and caught quail all that day and throughout the night and all the next day, too. No one gathered less than fifty bushels ! They spread the quail all around the camp to dry.

30And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31Now a wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering 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 two cubits above the surface of the ground.
32And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
