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.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 11 of Numbers. The people complain and God’s fire consumes part of the camp. Soon afterward, the multitude expresses nostalgia for the food of Egypt and contempt for the manna. Moses becomes deeply burdened by the responsibility of leading the people and presents his exhaustion before God. The section connects collective complaining with the leadership crisis and with a distorted understanding of the Egyptian past.

Und willst du also mit mir tun, so erwürge ich mich lieber, habe ich anders Gnade vor deinen Augen gefunden, daß ich nicht mein Unglück so sehen müsse.
Y si así lo haces tú conmigo, yo te ruego que me des muerte, si he hallado gracia en tus ojos; y que yo no vea mi mal.
Si vas a tratarme así, por favor, mátame de una vez, si he hallado gracia ante tus ojos, para que no vea mi desgracia».
Plutôt que de me traiter ainsi, tue-moi, je te prie, si j'ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, et que je ne voie pas mon malheur.
E se pur tu mi vuoi fare in cotesta maniera, uccidimi ti prego, se ho trovata grazia appo te; e non fare che io vegga il mio male
E se assim fazes comigo, mata-me, peço-te, se tenho achado graça aos teus olhos, e não me deixes ver o meu mal.
如果你這樣待我,倒不如立刻把我殺了吧!我若在你眼前蒙恩,求你不要讓我再受這樣的苦。」
