Numbers 11:13
"Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’?"
Key Reflection
Moses is expressing frustration with God's command for him to carry the Israelites, suggesting that this task should have been left to God Himself. This exchange highlights the burden Moses feels and implies his belief that God could and should take care of His people directly, rather than placing such a heavy responsibility on Moses alone.
