Numbers 11:10-15

10People in every family were crying at the doors of their tents. And Moses heard them. The Lord became very angry with the people. Moses too was not happy.

11So Moses said to the Lord, ‘I am your servant. But you have given this problem to me! It seems that you are not pleased with me. You have given to me the hard job to be leader of all these people.

12They are not my children! But you have said to me, “Take care of them like parents take care of their babies. Carry them to the land that I have promised to their ancestors.”

13They are complaining to me. They are saying, “Give us meat that we can eat!” But I cannot get meat to feed all these people!

14I cannot be the leader of all these people unless I receive help. This job is too difficult for me.

15So if you do not want to help me, please kill me now. I do not want to continue to be so upset. So please be kind to me.’
