Moses Doubts God’s Ability
21 Moses responded, “I’m with 600,000 people on foot and you’re saying I am to give them enough[a] meat to eat for a whole month? 22 What if we were to slaughter our entire inventory of[b] flocks and herds for them? Would that be enough? What if we could gather all the fish in the sea in nets for them? Would that be enough, either?”
God Rebukes Moses
23 But the Lord responded to Moses, “Is the Lord short on power?[c] You’re now going to witness whether what I say will come to pass or not.”

Numbers 11:21-23
New International Version
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(A) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(B)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(C) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(D)”
