I am
not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for
me. Wherefore if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, if
I have found favour in thy sight: and let me not see my
wretchedness. And the LORD said unto Moses: gather unto me seventy
of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the
elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them unto
the tabernacle of witness, and let them stond there with thee. And
I will come down and talk with thee there, and take of the spirit
which is upon thee and put upon them, and they shall bear with
thee in the burthen of the people, and so shalt thou not bear
alone. And say unto the people: hallow your selves against
tomorrow, that ye may eat flesh, for ye have whined in the ears of
the LORD saying: who shall give us flesh to eat, for we were happy
when we were in Egypt? therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and
ye shall eat: Ye shall not eat one day only either two or five
days, either ten or twenty days: but even a month long, and until
it come out at the nostrils of you, that ye be ready to parbreak:
because that ye have cast the LORD aside which is among you, and
have wept before him saying: why came we out of Egypt.
