God commanded Moses to make two silver trumpets to call the heads of the tribes, to all the people to gather, to call the people to war, and to remind the people of what God had done. The cloud was lifted from over the tabernacle and Israel set out in an orderly fashion. Moses trusted the Lord to guide, protect, and provide for them. The people began complaining because they had no meat. Moses cried out to God for help leading the people. God appointed seventy elders among the people to assist Moses. God provided qual in great number to the people, but His anger burned against them. He sent a plague and struck those down who had coveted meat even though God had provided food for them.
