Numbers 11:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 11:14

12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ^a‘Carry them in your bosom, as a ^bguardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You ^cswore to their fathers?

13 ^aWhere 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 ^aI 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 ^ado not let me see my wretchedness!”

The Seventy Elders

16 So the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to Me ^aseventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and ^bofficers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.

17 Then I will come down and talk with you there. ^aI will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.
