Números 11:15

Listen to Números 11:15
15 Si este es el trato que vas a darme, ¡me harás un favor si me quitas la vida! ¡Así me veré libre de mi desgracia!

Números 11:15 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 11:15

And if thou deal thus with me
Let the whole weight of government lie upon me, and leave the alone to bear it:

kill me, I pray thee, out of hand;
take me out of the world at once, or "kill me now, in killing" F14; dispatch me immediately, and make a thorough end of me directly:

if I have found favour in thy sight;
if thou hast any love for me, or art willing to show me a kindness, to remove me by death, I shall take as one:

and let me not see my wretchedness;
or live to be the unhappy man I shall be; pressed with such a weight of government, affected and afflicted with the wants of a people I cannot relieve, or seeing them bore down with judgments and punishments inflicted on them for their sins and transgressions I am not able to prevail upon them to abstain from: so the Targum of Jerusalem,

``that I may not see their evil, who are thy people;''

so Abendana, and in the margin of some Hebrew copies, it is read,

``this is one of the eighteen words, the correction of the scribes;''

who, instead of "my wretchedness" or evil, corrected it, "their wretchedness" or evil; but Aben Ezra says there is no need of this correction.

Números 11:15 In-Context

13 Todo este pueblo viene llorando a pedirme carne. ¿De dónde voy a sacarla?
14 Yo solo no puedo con todo este pueblo. ¡Es una carga demasiado pesada para mí!
15 Si este es el trato que vas a darme, ¡me harás un favor si me quitas la vida! ¡Así me veré libre de mi desgracia!
16 El SEÑOR le respondió a Moisés:—Tráeme a setenta ancianos de Israel, y asegúrate de que sean ancianos y gobernantes del pueblo. Llévalos a la Tienda de reunión, y haz que esperen allí contigo.
17 Yo descenderé para hablar contigo, y compartiré con ellos el Espíritu que está sobre ti, para que te ayuden a llevar la carga que te significa este pueblo. Así no tendrás que llevarla tú solo.
