Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ When Moses heard them weeping in their communities, every one at his tent door, though the Lord was greatly provoked to wrath, and in the view of Moses it was evil, ¹¹ yet Moses said to the Lord, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant; and why have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou shouldst lay upon me the weight of this people? ¹² Have I conceived all this people? Or have I brought them forth, that thou sayest to me, Take them in thy bosom, and carry them, as a nurse would her sucking child, to the land which with an oath thou hast promised to their fathers? ¹³ Whence can I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep before me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat. ¹⁴ I am not able alone to bear this people. It is a burden too heavy for me. ¹⁵ If thou deal thus with me, kill me outright, if I have found favour in thy sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.
