Numbers 11:10-15

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Moses heard every ·family [clan] ·crying [weeping] as they stood in the entrances of their tents. Then the Lord became very angry, and ·Moses got upset [^Lit was bad in the eyes of Moses]. ¹¹ He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought me, your servant, this trouble? ·What have I done wrong [^LWhy have I not found favor in your eyes] that you ·made me responsible [^Lset the burden on me] for all these people? ¹² ·I am not the father of [^LDid I conceive/Am I the mother of] all these people, and ·I didn’t [^Ldid I…?] give birth to them. So why do you make me carry them to the land you promised to our ancestors? Must I carry them in my ·arms [^Lbosom] as a nurse carries a baby? ¹³ Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep crying to me, ‘We want meat!’ ¹⁴ I can’t take care of all these people alone. It is too ·much [difficult; ^Lheavy] for me. ¹⁵ If you are going to continue doing this to me, then kill me now. If ·you care about me [^LI have found favor in your eyes], put me to death, and ·then I won’t have [^Ldo not let me see] any more troubles.”
