Numbers 11:10-15
Lexham English Bible
10 Moses heard the people weeping according to their[a] clans, each at the doorway of their tents. Then Yahweh became very angry,[b] and in the eyes of Moses it was bad. 11 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you brought trouble to your servant? Why have I not found favor in your eyes, that the burdens of all these people have been placed on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? If I have fathered them,[c] that you could say to me, ‘Carry them[d] in your lap, just as a foster-father carries the suckling on the land that you swore an oath to their ancestors?’[e] 13 From where do I have meat to give all these people? They weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat and let us eat!’ 14 I am not able to carry all these people along alone; they are too heavy for me. 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please kill me immediately if I find favor in your eyes, and do not let me see my misery.”
