10. Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of the Lord was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased.
11. So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me?
12. Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You swore to their fathers?
13. Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
14. I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.
15. If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now—if I have found favor in Your sight—and do not let me see my wretchedness!”
