Numbers 11:13-18

¹³Whence shall I have flesh to give to all this people? For they lament to me, saying: Give us flesh to eat.

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

¹⁵And if Thou do thus with me, kill me, I pray, if I have found mercy before Thee, that I may not see my wretchedness.

¹⁶And the Lord said to Mosheh, Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be elders of the people, and the overseers thereof, and bring them to the tabernacle of ordinance, and let them stand there with thee;

¹⁷And I will reveal Myself, and will speak with thee there; and I will make enlargement of the Spirit that is upon thee, and put it upon them, that they may bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou mayest not sustain it by thyself alone.

¹⁸And say thou to the people, Prepare yourselves for the morrow, and you shall eat flesh; for that you have lamented before the Lord, saying: Who will give us flesh, that we may eat? For it was better with us in Mizraim; and I will give you flesh, and you shall eat.
