Numbers 11:16 in Context — Numbers 11

14 Não posso suportar sozinho todo este povo, porque é pesado demais para mim.

15 E se assim fazes tu comigo, eu te rogo que me mates, se achei favor aos teus olhos; e que não me deixes ver a minha calamidade.

16 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Ajunta-me setenta homens dos anciãos de Israel, de quem sabes que são anciãos do povo, e seus oficiais; e traze-os à porta do tabernáculo do testemunho, e esperem ali contigo.

17 E eu descerei e falarei ali contigo; e tomarei do espírito que está sobre ti, e [o] porei neles; e contigo levarão a carga do povo, para que tu não [a] leves sozinho.

18 Porém dirás ao povo: Santificai-vos para amanhã, e comereis carne; porque chorastes em ouvidos do SENHOR, dizendo: Quem nos dera comer carne! Certamente estávamos bem no Egito! O SENHOR, pois, vos dará carne, e comereis.
