¹¹ And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

¹⁴ I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

¹⁷ And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

⁹ And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

¹² How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
