Adam, Eve and Pre-History


I wanted to write a note on the topic of Adam and Eve in history followed by the flood story. People have difficulties with those as history sometimes, tending to want to compare them with scientific paradigms, yet that can be a mistake.
The Bible may have several meanings for different people at different times-it was inspired by God who is more capable than humans at arranging meanings, Universes, dimensions and space-time.
It is well known that the Sahara desert and Saudi Empty Quarter were verdant gardens before the end of the last ice age. That's probably where Adam and Eve were located in a paradise in comparison to much of the rest of the world. If they were in Iraq someplace that was a paradise during the ice age moving south when it became a wasteland to live on the dry seafloor of today's Persian Gulf would have been natural.
Their story made it through the thousands of years into history. Its probably the earliest actual human history that remains in existence.
Adam and Eve were fully human of course. It is difficult to say what their age was. That period spans the transition for homo sapiens into the fully modern status. When the ice age ended and they were locked out of paradise by four cherubim of space-time dimensions that guard the temporal order because it became a desert they wandered to a better place and moved about the middle east and elsewhere probably parallel to various dispersion theories of anthropology. Some of those people founded the first human civilization on the seafloor of the Persian Gulf when it was dry perhaps as early as 10,000-20,000 years ago.
The Persian Gulf sea level has risen 200 feet since them drowning out that first mud-brick proto-civilization of decadent individuals except for N.O.A.A. and his family plus representatives of many of the animals that lived in the area before it was cut off by rising waters and submerged. N.O.A.A. wisely heeded God's warning about a flood-perhaps the first Global Warming warning given unto human kind in the civilized era.
The late historian Arnold Toynbee speculated the Cain represented land tillers and black smiths who killed the goat herding 'Able's of the unbroken for agriculture lands-they were naturally at odds with one another regarding land use.
Eating of the tree of knowledge was an original 'sin' that enabled (or doomed) humans to survive outside paradise. The historical coincidence with the pre-history of humanity is obvious
The mark of Cain would identify him as a blacksmith as he brought the farming and weapons technology to various cultures of the ancient world Those cultures were hunter gatherers and pre-metal tool culltures-it would have been quite a change, yet it might even refer to stone and wood plows pulled by oxen-what a radical innovation!
The maybe most people were descended from the Sahara-Empty Quarter Adam and Eve in paradise era that remain alive today. All of those other near-human primates were killed off-maybe 'Cain's influence did it.

Wireless Electric Car Technological Development Should Get Priority in the Sunbelt


Innovations on charging electric vehicle batteries with wireless technology has been proceeded for several years. With gaps between surfaces of as much as 12 centimeters recharging of buses in Korea was achieved. MTC TEchnology's Evatran in 2010 is said to have developed a plugless electric vehicle recharging system. One hopes the U.S. Government is funding serious research into making major southern urban highways wireless electric vehicle recharging loops as are the Koreans.
When electric cars can draw power from cables under the road surface they need not have batteries so large to get around. Weight and cost of e.v.'s could drop.
The Korean development program is named the Online Electric Vehicle

Avast!-Bread, Circuses & Public Debt Develops Imperialism

The ancient Roman Empire was famous for providing bread and circuses and public sports spectacles to keep the plebeians happy. Those 'democrats' that were Roman citizens moved into the City and were restive without free bread, gladiator and boat shows, chariot races around the forum and so forth. They didn't have useful work and many jobs were outsourced to foreign colonies while cheap labor'-slaves-worked the farms.

With a Caesar on their side for a time the plebeians had no concern about a restored Republic with those unpleasant Senators and upper class keeping them down. Foreign soldiers were employed to serve in their stead. It worked reasonably well for a time yet of course Constantine eventual moved the Empire east to Byzantion and the Byzantine Empire grew to survive until the 15th century.

The Byzantine rulers were noted for treachery in achieving power. It was quite a bloody succession and losers were often blinded and perhaps set upon a donkey in the countryside. The maxim that location is everything worked for Constantinople. It wasn't really until a crusade-sacked Constantinople and mobile cannon on ships developed that the City really became vulnerable to conquest by the pushing Moslem power of Asia Minor.

The United States today has good location, food stamps for 47 million, outsourced jobs and vastly increasing public debt. By then end of another Obama term the interest each year on the public debt would be more than a trillion dollars. Here is what is wrong with the nation...

The Democrat Party is no longer a responsible majority party as it was after 1929-30 until the end of the Carter administration. It has developed a tax the rich and provide benefits to the middle class psychology. A two-term Obama administration would add more than 10 trillion dollars of public debt-and that may be a little too much for a 2016 Republican President to correct.

The Democrat Party under Obama has moved further toward a dialectical Marxist opposite status to the very rich as if they expect an evolutionary clash to develop to synthesize John Lenin's own brand of godless New World Order. The Republican Party has always had its ideological purists (a.k.a. extremists) advocating for the concentration of wealth. Democrats cannot expect them to become the former Democratic moderates advocating for fair tax rates, no public debt and full employment. Democratic Presidents took up that task from Roosevelt to Carter and even Dwight Eisenhower followed that line. After President Reagan's style of conservatism President Clinton agitated to end Glass-Steagle and signed off on that in 1999 throwing middle class mortgages into the rough ministrations of British and other alien political-economic powers. The Democrat leadership pimping of U.S. middle class economic interests let radical deregulation go ahead and handed the nation to the world's financial sharks on a platter.

Without an economically realistic Democrat Party with theoretical support for directing the economy toward full employment concurrent with deficit elimination, secure borders and protection for the U.S. labor force the national drift toward insolvency and possible economic collapse with unmanageable, vampiristic public interest on the national debt payments the nation actually is drifting toward the classical imperialistic transition in order than none besides the ruler will have actual financial accountability.
Some argue that too much regulation is the problem for U.S. business. The problem is actually not enough good regulations and too many ineffective regulations. Quality rather than quantity is the challenge for good government.

If one compares the ruling classes of Tsarist and Communist Russia there isn't so much difference in the way the upper echelons repressed free speech. A global corporate bureaucracy also represses free speech. One cannot imagine an Exxon or Shell employee lasting long if they advocated against fossil fuel politically and for alternative energy.
 
The Roman Republic and The Roman Empire differed. The Roman Republic grew 7000 years and the Roman Empire was in decline generally. The Empire brought a steady decline with rampant corruption. If one reads Suetonius and Plutarch the sordid lives of the Emperors are recounted.

Bread and circuses bought public support for incompetent political management (#1).

Caesar, the first Emperor got and built the empire at it's height. He was a little like Dwight D. Eisenhower followed by a line of poor leaders with an occasional Reagan or Nixon thrown in to arrest decline for a while.

After Caesar the expanse of the empire sort of stayed the same with Octavian-Augustus and Tiberius I seem to recall. Then it began its long slow period of decline.

Constantine moved the capitol effectively to Byzantium in 316. Rome itself was sacked by Alaric and the Goths in the 4th century. As an empire then, Rome lasted barely three centuries during a time of decline and troubles. It was beset with invasions and defeats even by Attilla and the Huns in the 3rd century.

The Eastern Roman Empire ruled by Justinian had famines and such-and that Emperor sent a fortune trying to hold the lands of the former unified Empire together without luck. The Byzantine Empire lost land for centuries to the Moslems and others yet they had such an excellent fortress site on the Dardanelles they could hold on behind two excellent defensive walls and water barriers for a thousand years. The United States cannot even defend its Mexican border against illegal Mexican migrants and foreign terrorists smuggling whatever they like to cache for later use.

A Few Good Brief Videos Worth Viewing


Here are a few good, brief videos. I ought to stipulate that I am a Christian with a philosophical interest and haven't any trouble with contemporary cosmology theory and Biblical history simultaneously.

Leaky U.S. Economy Needs Patches & Reforms/Glass Steagle Repeal Explained/Bill Clinton Admits Mistakes

The leaky U..S.  economy needs many patches and reforms if the long slow drain is to stop and  reversed. There are several issues needed to seal up the national hull-not just bilge pumping with deficit spending hoping to pump prime and stay afloat. Neither party seems interested in using the tough reality choice required to pay down federal debt, fully employ American citizens, secure national defense at a reasonable cost and halt the environmental decay.

The Obama administration in the first term seemed just to ignore fixing the problems and instead deficit spend and provide relief to the poor and unemployed through welfare programs that deny hope for employment. The prosperity of employed middle class voters is good enough and problems of the future are too far distant to be concerned about now.
The middle class should want to be responsible and pay higher taxes while demanding more political control over the Washington D.C. politicians. They should be a moral majority and not seek to be rely on the rich paying taxes for them. Just because they are lucky enough to be well off middle class voters they cannot abandon responsibility politically or solid taxation either-that sort of political posture results in eventual rule by dictatorship, royalty, commune elite central committee or Emperor.
U.S. jobs continue to hemorrhage and there is no real plan to fix that, secure the U.S. border against dumped cheap immigrant labor, pay off the federal debt and stop paying 3/4 a trillion annually on interest, save the environment against mass extinction and global warming etc. The major political parties represent constituents incapable of objectively comprehending the real world or perhaps they don't care about it.
Government must help to adjust social value theory and point out that real values can differ from present social values-it can be worth more to eliminate atmospheric greenhouse gasses and possible mass disaster than to own an SUV for instance. Well, the problems of the commons with wrong value theory ideas is for another essay.
There are fundamentally five bills that could be legislated and signed into law that would immediately begin to restore the slippery slope of national decline.
One-let the Bush era tax cuts expire and in the future cut taxes from the bottom up reducing poverty directly. Every welfare recipient that can be employed cuts out reliance on social security, medicare, food stamps and so forth savings 10 to 20 thousand dollars per individual-and they would  even  pay taxes.
Two-create incentives for employers to hire the longest unemployed first and incentives to really go  green and national with least entropy causality for most quantitative production. Make manufacturing more like human intelligence that develops ideas that make use of mass & energy models a priori efficient structures.
The human brain in a dream state can produce an almost live high-resolution color video with sound and tactile senses thrown in-imagine what kind of computer program would be required to make a comparable spontaneous creation-and the human brain does that without even thinking about it! Human thought should be better utilized at the social and political levels to move America in the right direction.
Three- Halt all illegal alien immigration that trashes the labor wage values market. Build  a mile wide border control zone with Mexico using berms, ditches, salt water for desalinization evaporation canals (condensing the fresh water) and so forth that would serve as a wildlife refuge as well. Create jobs, fresh water and wildlife habitat while securing the border against all illegal entry off-the-road.
Four- Restore the Glass Steagle act's purpose and defend U.S. home mortgages against global takeover. AS it is, the reason so many homes mortgages are being purchased is that deep pocket investor groups are buying up the distressed housing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs3Z2Z2WMJk&feature=fvwrel Bill Clinton admits he made mistakes on deregulation
Five-cut defense spending and other federal spending where possible. The Chinese military threat is more of a future than a present danger, and spending much on equipment today that will be obsolete then isn't a first-rate concept.
Afghanistan policy should change so that the Northern Alliance forces are given a homeland there with U.S. support. Outside that area there would be a voluntary association region that would receive some U.S. assistance if  they wanted to be confederated with the Northern Alliance led Afghan state. The Northern Alliance would work with those Sunni tribal elements of dubious loyalty to Barrack Obama and the gay-friendly U.S. military, and U.S. military forces would not. The U.S. would help defend the Northern Alliance Afghanistan when it wanted help.
It seems unreasonable to believe that Afghanistan would become a strong independent state without an extremist jihadi presence-especially without direct U.S. military and civil support in 2015. Proflligate military spending on unsustainable objectives is not good economic sense.

Clinton Foundation for 2008-9 Home Mortgage Delinquency & Default Crisis

The deregulation measures signed in to law by President Bill Clinton enabled the era of home mortgage delinquency and default that hit with a vengeance in 2009. The Clinton administration inherited a nation with fewer than 1% home mortgage delinquency of more than 90 days,  yet when the mortgage crash arrived in 2008-9 the home mortgage default rate rose to more than 10% and better than 46% of home mortgages lost significant value. How did that history of home mortgage delinquency arrive?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0k2PmF-o5Q&feature=related Who Killed Glass-Steagle

President Clinton sign into law a measure that allowed mortgages to be traded like commodities. That was a devastating corruption  of the more direct relationship between home mortgages by a single owner and a lender. It supported the inflation of a housing market wherein homes were built for speculation and profit as commodities with share derivatives sold globally.
During the Clinton years the C.I.A. continue to have its field ops division gutted as it had since the Colby downsizing. It was blind to the Islamic terror threat and ineffectively concerned itself with traditional threats. Additionally the Clinton administration downsized the military and allowed the sanctions on Iraq to fester while also neglecting Afghanistan following the Soviet era. An ethos of Elvis and greed developed with boomer empowered irresponsibility. The home mortgage flim flam foundation was set as a virtue.
It wasn't simply wealthy corporate banks and quantitative high rollers that stimulated the home mortgage expansion, the middle class seeking to take advantage of a home mortgage rise in prices borrowed and leveraged home mortgage purchases too as a way to safely increase their wealth. Many middle class Americans bought several houses because they could. Developers could borrow to build many home not for individual home owners with a directly financed mortgage from a local bank, but on speculation with global financing. Derivatives swaps and insurance of derivatives proceeded to fuel the housing construction for future buyers and under-qualified purchasers in many cases.
Fundamentally the Obama administration hasn't done anything to prevent recurrence of another home mortgage boom and bust should the economy recover a little. Its not the 60's housing expansion that occurred because individual Americans with larger families actually had jobs a needed a single home for themselves and family. In the present deregulated mortgage environment with global financing getting anyone to agree to occupy a home and take legal responsibility for paying the mortgage is all many people require to take their cut even if the money to pay off the mortgage won't be there down the road. In some cases the illegal aliens that are imported cheap labor to build a significant portion of homes and are sometimes the home owner too will just walk out and return to Baja or Cancun in a few years.
President Bush's war in Iraq and protracted nation rebuilding was a stress test on the U.S. economy that it failed. Sure the Iraq reconstruction was badly planned and quite expensive yet a healthy regulated U.S. economy would have survived without recession. The ethic of  middle-class greed to become millionaires and billionaires is the unaccredited engine driving the Wall Street bunk. The greed nicely provides smoke and mirrors for the corrupt sharks thriving in a deregulated home mortgage environment. It allows Wall Street globalization and deconstruction of  U.S. economic independence while transitioning into abstract international control. 
The lawyers that are Democrat President just don't seem competent at economic management and mostly just benefit themselves while leaving the poor and the electorate holding the bag.

'Innocence of Islam'' , 'The Life of Bryan' and other Controversial Video


The 15 minute YouTube video that Secretary Clinton dissed named 'Innocence of Islam' isn't a good video for Moslems to watch. It can drive some of them into a frenzy. For those that aren't Muslims its somewhat humorous in the Three Stooges sort of way-imagine an immoral Moe as Muhammad with some perverted followers in some really beautiful desert settings upon which the feet of the actors barely seem to touch and one has the gist of the video.
Making low-cost video is a challenging task. Beside the anti-Mohammad content, the production of even 15 minutes of high-quality material is difficult for non-studio people to afford. Some of the regular film studios with deep pockets might not appreciate the independent video competition-yet video orthodoxy is politically a follower of social and political trends except perhaps in the Moslem world or various dictatorships here and their.
One of the reasons that the Moslem creed disapproves of images of the orphaned son of the keeper of the pagan idols in Mecca who invented a religion better than those of Mecca's pagan pantheon at the time is for its value in keeping control of the masses then and now. The point is somewhat of a litmus test for social liberty and of the right of people to express criticism of political and religious leadership that can  be the same.
The beginning of 'The Innocence of Islam' has a horde of Islamists stampeding through the streets crazed with rage to kill some Christian dentist's family. Its a good action scene rather better than the start of James Bond movies or even Star Wars though the action soon transitions following a tragic killing in passing to a comedy Ralph Edwards style 'this is your life' Muhammad' montage of scenes of his life.
Video production by amateurs isn't that rewarding either. Though I saw the video when only 4 million others had watched, it probably takes a million views to earn a few hundred dollars at You Tube. It is possible to imagine a series of politically incorrect history videos something like 'Innocence of Islam' featuring historical personages of yore.  Montie Python's The Flying Circus  put out 'The Life of Bryan' with the 'blessed are the cheesemakers for they shall have cheese'  irreverence sort of thing  yet the cost of producing quality free videos is probably prohibitive.
Charlie Chaplin's 'The Little Dictator?' was of the genre, as were Marx brothers films,  yet the Moslem world should not expect to be above the rest of humanity and exempt from public opinion. Applying gangster 'correction 'by the sword to art and political expression is simply evil-yet that was one of the points of 'The Innocence of Islam'.

Printing More Money at Federal Reserve to Compensate 4 Presidential Economic Leadership Failure


More than 55 million Americans are receiving social security benefits now, and 847 thousand Americans dropped out of the active job search last weak discouraged by the dismal job prospects. The national unemployment rate is still higher than 8% and more than 15% of active job seekers are underemployed or unemployed. The Obama economic recovery was given the morning after abortion drug following the Trillion dollar 2009 stimulus and has been stagnant since.
According to polls the nation seems not to have noticed or to care enough to elect a different President.
Millions of discouraged Americans have stopped looking for work-many of the very educated older workers. That premature exit creates a domestic brain drain from the boomers that isn't readily replaceable-certainly not by millions of illegal aliens taking all of the free enterprise labor jobs across the U.S.A. or even by Gen X-ers with less experience in a variety of fields and with fewer numbers.
Moving experienced, educated workers onto the welfare rolls instead of back in to a healthy economy make create a protracted international competitiveness disadvantage for the U.S.A. Yet if one can watch reality difference some may think, what difference can reality make? A protracted national debt crisis along with global warming may be simply two interesting points to consider if there isn't anything to watch on T.V.

Shoot First-Aim Later With Fiber Optics Guidance Control-The Obama-Clinton Apologies for Free Speech

In the distant past direct fire weapons required an initial aim accurately placed to make contact with a targeted objected. That slow response time meant that firing quickly to defend against an initial attacker might need to be a secondary object before finding safety from for instance, from an opposition force Army tank. For several decades though it has been possible to shoot quickly and aim later via a fiber optic cable trailing from a missile or torpedo more recently.

A defender can shoot on recognition of tank attack, dive to cover and aim the missile enroute from a safer spot.

I mention this topic because of the President's bizarre comment about Mitt Romney's comment that administration apologies for free speech including videos isn't a good idea. The President and Secretary of State Clinton have been falling all over themselves making apologies about the quality of some video that depicted the historical figure Mohammed.
Videos are no more than bits of digital data with whatever information content is placed in them. People have a right to express that content so long as they remain within lawful criteria.
It is silly for the Moslem world to believe that Muhammad can't be portrayed in videos or pictures. If one is making a video about the Moslem conquest of the middle east it would be idiotic to portray Muhammad with an empty saddle upon a horse directing itself in battle. Muhammad was one of the more egregious military conquerors of history, and his father was keeper of the Ka'aba and other pagan items at Mecca, so pagan scenes before his enlightenment and bloody or sex scenes with enemies and bevies of women respectively is just part of reality.
Surprisingly even Moses had another women besides Jochebed (an Ethiopian woman named Zipporah) I seem to remember reading in Numbers.
If Moslems are to exist in a modern world then like the American homosexual community they will need to learn to tolerate free speech that does not make personal attacks on living people or try to organize criminal acts. Videos are one means of advancing human intelligence-especially philosophy videos. If there are billlions of semi-literate people in the world expecting to use violence or economic sanctions to repress or extirpate individual free enterprise and individual free speech they need enlightenment. The practical way to accomplish that is with free speech.
Secretary of State Clinton and President Obama should apologize to the people of the United States for creating bad foreign policy, unwillingness to defend free speech adequately or to explain it to the Moslem world, poor defense of U.S. Embassies on 9-11, keeping the unemployment rate over 8% for several years, downsizing the U.S. labor force, building up public debt to 16 trillion dollars, printing out money at the Treasury to compensate for bad economic leadership, motivating millions to quite looking for a job, failing to halt illegal immigration at the U.S. borders and so forth.
There are innumerable things for Sect. of State Clinton and President Obama to apologize for,  yet none of those things should be free speech or its expression in videos.

Why Quantum Entanglement Can Send Data Faster-Than-Light (an unscientific theory)

Recently I have been working a little on a revision of a novel project named 'Temporal Cross Currents' and tossed in a comment about quantum entanglement of photons and why they appear to exchange information faster than light. I used a dialogue between to characters to discuss the point.
Not being a physicist I can only guess with some logic about those things of the quantum world. Maybe the field containing the Higgs and other fields is an extra dimension turned sideways to the four dimensions of this Universe so everything from this Universe just travels across that extra dimension's thin edge seemingly instantly for us. That dimension would be like a 'T' intersecting this 4 dimensional universe. There are probably better ideas than that, and another one or two are mentioned in the brief dialogue. I believe multi-dimensional membrane theory is a little lake that above.
"Rafaela shared her belief; 'Quantum computing has one significant drawback Patrick. Shannon entropy and conservation of energy principles apply to the quantum world. Quantum entanglement excludes non-deterministic potential of other quanta. There is no infinite supply of potential quanta that are undetermined-only an infinite potential state of being regarding location and state. When particles are entangled and observed they leave a footprint of determinism in the potential for all possible particle locations. It is a minor wave in the unified quantum field that can be inferred with the quantum field itself."
Hey that's great Rafaela, I said. You ought to try the pastrami and rye sandwiches here sometimes-now those are really hot!
You know that entangled quantum particles seem to us to share information faster than the speed of light because their foundation is in a field that hasn't time characteristics of the macro-physical universe. The information of entangled fundamental particles is pinned together and that doesn't change with their space apart in the macro-dimension Universe (1) time field. Another way of looking at it is that quantum particles have a fundamental association in another dimensions without the same time values as the four ordinary dimensions of space-time in Universe (1)."

Numbers 11 & 14 Jews Cleansed By Fire and Blood Before Entering Promised Land

The Bible book of Numbers in the old testament is great reading. Historical incidents of the Jews after their exodus from Egypt and before they moved into the promised land is very informative and worth reading especially now.
For many people the history of the chosen people and how they were cleansed by fire literally before they were ready to enter the promised land is somewhat vague. They did not simply dance across the divided waters, catch some rays in the desert before driftin on over to find fully stocked refrigerators and condos at Haifa.
I will quote chapters 11  and 14 from the Kings James version below. In chapter 14 one finds that the generation that could have entered into the promised land were instead killed off nearly entirely for failing to obey the Lord.
Moses had been told to send scouts to the promised land and did so taking 40 days. When they returned the Jews of the exodus became fearful and wanted to return to Egypt.  Then they changed their minds and decided to just go on, yet the Lord was displeased with them. He said that they would die.
They choose to go on to the promised land and the Lord said not to, for the Amalekites and Cannanites would slay them, and of course the Jews ignored that instruction-went on to meet the Amalexites and Cannanites and were slain-except for the children and select others that were made to wander in the desert another 40 years.
The Jews that actually did make it to the promised land were not cold blooded-their parents generation had been slain by the Amalekites and Cannanites, while they were themselves more recondite in following the Lord's leadership and instructions. God has a better plan for humanity, and sent His son Jesus Christ to rescue those that would set their worldly biological condition toward whoring and etc. and become cleansed through the grace of God to return to His will.
Numbers 11 through 14 are marvelous readings for insight into the perfect justice of the Lord.
King James Version (KJV)
Numbers... 
"11 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of theLord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord'S people were prophets, and that theLord would put his spirit upon them!
30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 And 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.
32 And 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.
33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth."
King James Version (KJV)
Numbers 14 "And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thouLord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
16 Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
18 The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper.
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah"
