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, che avea servito a Mosè fin dalla sua giovanezza, fece motto a Mosè, e gli disse: Signore mio Mosè, divietali.

29 Ma Mosè gli disse: Sei tu geloso per me? anzi, fosse pur tutto il popolo del Signore profeta: e avesse pure il Signore messo il suo Spirito sopra loro. Poi Mosè si ricolse nel campo insieme con gli Anziani d’Israele.

30 Mosè si ricolse nel campo insieme con gli Anziani d’Israele.

31 E un vento si levò, mosso dal Signore, e trasportò delle quaglie di verso il mare, e le gittò in sul campo, d’intorno a una giornata di cammino di qua, e una giornata di cammino di là, intorno al campo; e n’era l’altezza presso che di due cubiti in su la faccia della terra.

32 E il popolo si levò, e tutto quel giorno, e tutta quella notte, e tutto il dì seguente, raccolse delle quaglie; chi ne raccolse il meno, ne raccolse dieci omer; poi se le distesero al largo intorno al campo.
