^{11 Ref} And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?

^{12 Ref} Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?

^{13 Ref} Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.

^{14 Ref} I am not able by myself to take the weight of all this people, for it is more than my strength.

^{15 Ref} If this is to be my fate, put me to death now in answer to my prayer, if I have grace in your eyes; and let me not see my shame.
