Numeri 11:30 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 11:30

And Moses got him into the camp
From the door of the tabernacle, where he had been settling the elders in their office, and now betook himself to the camp of Israel, perhaps to look more particularly into the affair of Eldad and Medad, and settle that, and put them among the elders; for they were of them that were written, whose names were put down for elders in the paper Moses had written for that purpose, and in the summons that were given; or more generally to do public business, to exercise rule and government, with this new assistance granted him, as follows:

he and the elders of Israel;
he went in company with them, to impart to them the honour and glory they were to share with him in the government, as Aben Ezra observes; or they went together, to observe what would be done for the people, according to the promise of the Lord, to give them flesh; who had made good his word to Moses, by taking of his Spirit and putting it on seventy men for his assistance; the other remained to be done, and was done as follows.

Numeri 11:30 In-Context

28 Allora Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, servo di Mosè dalla sua giovinezza, prese a dire: "Mosè, signor mio, non glielo permettere!"

29 Ma Mosè gli rispose: "Sei tu geloso per me? Oh! fossero pur tutti profeti nel popolo dell’Eterno, e volesse l’Eterno metter su loro lo spirito suo!"

30 E Mosè si ritirò nel campo, insieme con gli anziani d’Israele.

31 E un vento si levò, per ordine dell’Eterno, e portò delle quaglie dalla parte del mare, e le fe’ cadere presso il campo, sulla distesa di circa una giornata di cammino da un lato e una giornata di cammino dall’altro intorno al campo, e a un’altezza di circa due cubiti sulla superficie del suolo.

32 E il popolo si levò, e tutto quel giorno e tutta la notte e tutto il giorno seguente raccolse le quaglie. Chi ne raccolse meno n’ebbe dieci omer; e se le distesero tutt’intorno al campo.
