Numbers 11:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Heb. my evil, i.e. my intolerable anguish and torment, arising from the insuperable difficulty of my office and work of ruling this people, and from the dread of their utter extirpation which they will bring upon themselves, and the dishonour which thence will accrue to God and to religion; as if not I only, but God also, were an impostor. Seeing is here put for feeling, as to see death, Psalms 89:48 Luke 2:26, is to suffer it; and to see the salvation of God, Psalms 50:23, Psalms 91:16, is to enjoy it.

Numbers 11:15

15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
