Numbers 11:13-17
New International Version
Numbers 11:13-17
New International Version
13 Where can I get meat for all these people?(A) They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.(B) 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me(C)—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
16 The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders(D) who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people.(E) Have them come to the tent of meeting,(F) that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and speak with you(G) there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them.(H) They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.(I)

Numbers 11:13-17
King James Version
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
