ECB(i)
13 Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh to eat!
14 I cannot bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me!
15 And if you work thus with me, slaughter me! I beseech you, slaughter me! if I find charism in your eyes; that I not see my evil.

YAH VEH PROMISES FLESH TO EAT
And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Yisra El, whom you know are elders of the people and officers over them; and take them to the tent of the congregation, to stand there with you: 17 and I descend and word with you there: and I set aside of the spirit on you and put it on them to bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone: 18 and say to the people, hallow youselves by the morrow, and eat flesh: for you wept in the ears of Yah Veh, saying, Who feeds us flesh? For it was good with us in Misrayim! And Yah Veh gave you flesh and you ate 19 - you ate, neither one day nor two days nor five days nor ten days nor twenty days 20 - but a month of days, until it came out your nostrils and became strange to you - because you spurned Yah Veh who is among you and wept at his face, saying, Why came we from Misrayim? 21 And Mosheh says, The people - six hundred thousand on foot in my midst; and you say, Give them flesh to eat a month of days. 22 Slaughter you flocks and oxen for them and find for them? Or gather all the fish of the sea for them and find for them? 23 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Is the hand of Yah Veh curtailed? See now whether my word befalls you or not.
