11 And Moses will say to Jehovah, For what hast thou done evil to thy servant? and for what did I not find grace in thine eyes, to put the debt of all this people upon me? 12 Did I form all this people? did I beget them? for thou wilt say to me, Lift them up into thy bosom, as a nurse will lift up the sucking child upon the land which thou swarest to their fathers. 13 Whence to me flesh to give to all this people? for they weep upon me, saying, Thou shalt give to us flesh and we shall eat. 14 I shall not be able to lift up alone all this people, for it is heavy for me. 15 And if so thou doest to me, killing, kill me now, if I found grace in thine eyes; and I shall not look upon my evil. 16 And Jehovah will say to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the old men of Israel, whom thou knewest that they were old men of the people, and their scribes; and take them to the tent of appointment, and they shall stand there with thee. 17 And I came down and I spake with thee there; and I took from the spirit which is upon thee, and I put upon them, and they lifted up with thee in the debt of the people, and thou shalt not lift it up thyself alone.
