Numbers 11:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹¹ So Moses said to the Lord, ‘Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why have I not found favour in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? ¹² Did I conceive all this people? Did I give birth to them, that you should say to me, “Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a sucking child, to the land that you promised on oath to their ancestors”? ¹³ Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they come weeping to me and say, “Give us meat to eat!”
