13. Where could I get meat to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
14. I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15. If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”
16. Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.
17. I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone.
