¹⁵ And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.

¹⁶ Therefore doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning As the burning of a fire.

³¹ And a spirit hath journeyed from Jehovah, and cutteth off quails from the sea, and leaveth by the camp, as a day's journey here, and as a day's journey there, round about the camp, and about two cubits, on the face of the land.

³² And the people rise all that day, and all the night, and all the day after, and gather the quails -- he who hath least hath gathered ten homers -- and they spread them out for themselves round about the camp.

³³ The flesh is yet between their teeth -- it is not yet cut off -- and the anger of Jehovah hath burned among the people, and Jehovah smiteth among the people -- a very great smiting;

³⁴ and `one' calleth the name of that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, for there they have buried the people who lust.

³¹ And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.
