Numbers 11:11

Context
11:11 And Moses said to the Lord, “Why have you afflicted 1  your servant? Why have I not found favor in your sight, that 2  you lay the burden of this entire people on me?

1 tn The verb is the Hiphil of רָעַע (raa’, “to be evil”). Moses laments (with the rhetorical question) that God seems to have caused him evil.

2 tn The infinitive construct with the preposition is expressing the result of not finding favor with God (see R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 12-13, §57). What Moses is claiming is that because he has been given this burden God did not show him favor.
