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.”
