But Moses said, “The people I am among number six hundred thousand on foot, and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’
In context
19You will not eat it for one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days, 20but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you — because you have rejected Yahweh, who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’” 21But Moses said, “The people I am among number six hundred thousand on foot, and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’ 22Could enough flocks and herds be slaughtered for them? Could all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to be enough?” 23Yahweh said to Moses, “Is Yahweh’s hand too short? Now you will see whether my word comes true for you or not.”
