Bamidbar 11:14-16

Orthodox Jewish Bible

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

¹⁵ And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, please, at once, if I have found chen in Thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

¹⁶ And Hashem said unto Moshe, Gather unto Me seventy men of the Zekenim of Yisroel, whom thou knowest to be the Ziknei HaAm, and officers over them; and bring them unto the Ohel Moed, that they may stand there with thee.
