¹⁸ And say to the people, ‘^(A)Set yourselves apart as holy for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept ^(B)in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For it was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you shall eat. ¹⁹ You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, ^20 [a]but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because ^(C)you have rejected Yahweh who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever go out from Egypt?”’”

^33 (A)While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very severe plague.
