Numbers 11:14-17

141I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too 2burdensome for me. 153So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness.”

16The Lord therefore said to Moses, “Gather for Me 4seventy men from the elders of Israel, 5whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. 176Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of 7the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone.
