'People' in the Bible
then the priest is to have the woman commit to an oath by saying to the woman, "May the LORD make you a curse and a curse among your people. When the LORD makes your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell
When he has had her drink the water, if she was defiled and had acted unfaithfully toward her husband, then the contaminated water that brings a curse will enter her and infect her, causing her abdomen to swell and her thigh to waste away. Then she is to be a cursed woman among her people.
Now as to the person who is clean and isn't traveling, but fails to observe the Passover, that person is to be eliminated from his people, because he didn't bring an offering to the LORD at its appointed time. That person is to bear his sin.
Eventually, the people began complaining about their distress, and the LORD heard them. When the LORD heard, his anger flared up and the LORD's fire incinerated some of them within the outskirts of the camp.
When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the LORD and the fire stopped.
Meanwhile, certain riff-raff among the people had an insatiable appetite for food. As a result, they wept and turned back, and the Israelis cried out, "If only somebody would feed us some meat!
People would go out to gather it, then they would grind it in mills or pound it in mortars, and then they would boil it in pots or make cakes out of it that tasted like butter cakes.
Moses heard the people weeping throughout their entire families. Everyone gathered at the entrance to their tents so that the LORD was very angry. Moses thought the situation was bad,
so he asked the LORD, "Why did you bring all this trouble to your servant? Why haven't I found favor in your eyes? After all, you're putting the burden of this entire people on me!
Did I conceive this people or give birth to them, so that you would tell me to carry them near my heart like a wet nurse carries a suckling baby to the land that you promised to their forefathers?
Where am I going to get meat to give this people? After all, they're crying in front of me, "Give us meat to eat!'
Then the LORD told Moses, "Gather together for me 70 men who are elders of Israel, men whom you know to be elders of the people and officers over them. Then bring them to the Tent of Meeting and let them stand there with you.
Then I'll come down and speak with you. I'll take some of the spirit that rests on you and apportion it among them, so that they may help you bear the burden of the people. That way, you won't bear it by yourself."
"But give this command to the people: "You are to consecrate yourselves, because tomorrow you're going to eat meat, since you've complained where the LORD can hear it, "Who can give us meat to eat? After all, life was better with us in Egypt." Therefore, the LORD is going to give you meat and you'll eat
Moses responded, "I'm with 600,000 people on foot and you're saying I am to give them enough meat to eat for a whole month?
So Moses went out and told the people what the LORD had said. He gathered 70 men from the elders of the people and stationed them around the tent.
"Are you jealous on account of me?" Moses asked in reply. "I wish all of the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"
The people stayed up all that day, all that night, and all through the next day, gathering quails. The one who gathered least gathered enough to fill ten omers, as they spread out all around the camp.
But even as they were chewing the meat and before they had swallowed it, the LORD became very angry with the people and struck them with a disastrous plague.
That's why the place was named Kibroth-hattaavah, because they buried the people there who had an insatiable appetite for meat.
Later, the people left Kibroth-hattaavah for Hazeroth and camped there.
So Miriam was isolated outside the camp for seven days and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in.
After that, the people traveled from Hazeroth and encamped in the Wilderness of Paran.
See what the land is like. Observe whether the people who live there are strong or weak, or whether they're few or numerous.
except that the people who have settled in the land are strong, and their cities are greatly fortified. We also saw the descendants of Anak.
Caleb silenced the people on Moses' behalf and responded, "Let's go up and take control, because we can definitely conquer it."
"We can't attack those people," the men who were with him said, "because they're too strong compared to us."
So they put out this false report to the Israelis about the land that they had explored: "The land that we've explored is one that devours its inhabitants. All the people whom we observed were giants.
However, don't rebel against the LORD or be afraid of the people who live in the land, because we'll gobble them right up. Their defenses will collapse, because the LORD is with us. You are not to be afraid of them."
Suddenly, the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all of the Israelis. "How long will this people keep on spurning me and refusing to trust me, despite all the miracles that I've done among them?" the LORD asked Moses.
But Moses responded to the LORD, "When Egypt hears that you've brought this people out from among them with a mighty demonstration of power,
they'll also proclaim to the inhabitants of this land that they've heard you're among this people, LORD, whom they've seen face to face, since your cloud stands guard over them. You've guided them with a pillar of cloud by day and with a pillar of fire by night.
But if you slaughter this people all at the same time, then the nations who heard about your fame will say,
"The LORD slaughtered this people in the wilderness because he wasn't able to bring them to the land that he promised them.'
"Forgive, please, the iniquity of this people, according to your great, faithful love, in the same way that you've carried this people from Egypt to this place."
After Moses had told all of this to the Israelis, the people deeply mourned.
Then the entire community of Israel will be forgiven, along with the resident alien who lives among them, since all the people will have sinned inadvertently."
"But if some person acts with a high hand, whether a native-born or a resident alien, he blasphemes God, and that person is to be eliminated from among his people.
The ones who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and all the people.
If these people die a death similar to all other human beings, or if they are punished with a punishment common to other men, then the LORD didn't send me.
Nevertheless, the very next day, the whole congregation of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, "You've killed the LORD'S people!"
So Aaron took the censer, just as Moses had spoken, and ran out to the center of the assembly, where a plague had begun among the people. He set the incense on fire and atoned for the people.
Everything that opens the womb, any living thing that they bring to the LORD whether from human beings or animals are for you. Just be sure that you redeem the firstborn of people and the firstborn of unclean animals.
Then the LORD instructed Aaron, "You are not to have any inheritance in the land, nor are you to have any portion among the people. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelis.
The entire community of the Israelis entered the Zin wilderness during the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. Miriam died and was buried there.
As the people argued with Moses, they told him, "We wish that we had died when our relatives died in the LORD's presence!
"Aaron is to be gathered to his people, since he is not to enter the land that I'm about to give the Israelis. After all, you both rebelled against my command at the Meribah Springs.
Remove Aaron's vestments and place them on his son Eleazar, because Aaron is to be gathered to his people and die there."
Then Israel made this vow in the LORD's presence: "If you give these people into our control, we intend to devote their cities to total destruction."
After this, they traveled from Mount Hor along the caravan route by way of the Sea of Reeds and went around the land of Edom. But when the people got impatient because it was a long route,
the people complained against the LORD and Moses. "Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?" they asked. "There's no food and water, and we're tired of this worthless bread."
In response, the LORD sent poisonous serpents among the people to bite them. As a result, many people of Israel died.
Then the people approached Moses and admitted, "We've sinned by speaking against the LORD and you. Pray to the LORD, that he'll remove the serpents from us." So Moses prayed in behalf of the people.
From there they traveled to the Well of Beer, where the LORD had instructed Moses, "Gather the people together and I'll give you water."
It's the well that the leaders dug, the one carved out by the nobles of the people with their scepters and staffs.
Woe to you, Moab! You are destroyed, you people of Chemosh! He has given up his sons as fugitives and his daughters have gone into captivity to Sihon, king of the Amorites.
As a result, Moab greatly feared the people, because they were so numerous. Because a sense of impending doom was afflicting the Moabites as they faced the Israelis,
the Moabites told the elders of Midian, "This horde of people is about to lick up everything around us, like an ox licks up the green ground."
At that time, Zippor's son Balak was the king of Moab. He sent messengers to Beor's son Balaam in Pethor, near the Euphrates River, the land where the descendants of his people originated, to summon his aid. He said, "Look! A group of people have escaped from Egypt. They cover the surface of the whole earth, and are sitting here right in front of me.
So come right now and curse this people for me, because there are too many of them for me to handle. Perhaps I'll be able to strike them down and drive them out of the land, since I know that whomever you bless is blessed and whomever you curse is cursed."
"Look! A group of people have escaped from Egypt. They cover the surface of the whole earth! So come right now and curse them for me. Perhaps I'll be able to fight against them and drive them out.'"
But God told Balaam, "Don't go with them. Don't curse the people, because they're blessed."
I'm determined to reward you generously, and I'll do everything you tell me to do. So come right away and curse this people for me.'"
I saw them from the top of the rocks. I watched them from the hills. Truly this is a people that lives by itself and doesn't matter among the nations.
Look! The people are like lions. Like the lion, he rises up! He does not lie down again until he has consumed his prey and drunk the blood of the slain."
Meanwhile, since I have to return to my people, come and listen while I tell you what this people will be doing to your people in the last days."
While Israel remained encamped in Shittim, the people began to commit sexual immorality with Moabite women,
who also invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods. So the people ate what they had sacrificed and then worshipped their gods.
The people joined the Baal-peor cult. As a result, the anger of the LORD flared up against Israel,
so the LORD told Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight for the LORD, so the LORD's burning anger may be withdrawn from Israel."
24,000 people died because of the plague.
After you've seen it, you'll be taken to be with your people just as your brother Aaron was gathered to them,
"Be sure to exact vengeance on behalf of the Israelis from the Midianites, after which you'll be taken home to your people."
So Moses instructed the people, "Muster your men of war to attack the Midianites and deliver the LORD'S vengeance against Midian.
"After this, you are to exact a tribute for the LORD from the soldiers who went to war, consisting of the tribute earned by one person out of every 500, whether from people, cattle, donkeys, or flocks.
Then take half the share of the Israelis, one drawn out of every 50 people, cattle, donkeys, flocks, and from every animal, then give to the descendants of Levi who maintain the service of the LORD's tent."
The people numbered 16,000, so the LORD's tribute totaled 32 people.
If you stop following him, he will once again abandon them in the wilderness. You'll end up destroying this entire people."
They traveled from Alush, then rested in Rephidim, but there was no water there for the people to drink.
