Numbers 11 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible
Moses complains of his charge.
The provocation was very great; yet Moses expressed himself otherwise than became him. He undervalued the honour God had put upon him. He magnified his own performances, while he had the Divine wisdom to direct him, and Almighty power to dispense rewards and punishments. He speaks distrustfully of the Divine grace. Had the work been much less he could not have gone through it in his own strength; but had it been much greater, through God strengthening him, he might have done it. Let
us pray, Lord, lead us not into temptation. (Nu 11:16-23)
