And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 11 of Numbers. God responds to Moses’ burden by establishing a group of seventy elders to share responsibility for leading the people. The Spirit that was upon Moses also rests upon them. The episode teaches that Israel’s leadership should not be concentrated exclusively in one person and anticipates the conflict involving Eldad and Medad, whose prophesying confirms that the Spirit’s activity is not limited to a narrow circle.

so will ich herniederkommen und mit dir daselbst reden und von deinem Geist, der auf dir ist, nehmen und auf sie legen, daß sie mit dir die Last des Volkes tragen, daß du nicht allein tragest.
Y yo descenderé y hablaré allí contigo; y tomaré del espíritu que está en ti, y pondré en ellos; y llevarán contigo la carga del pueblo, y no la llevarás tú solo.
Descenderé y hablaré allí contigo. Tomaré del Espíritu que está sobre ti y lo pondré sobre ellos; llevarán contigo la carga del pueblo y no la llevarás tú solo.
Je descendrai, et là je te parlerai; je prendrai de l'esprit qui est sur toi, et je le mettrai sur eux, afin qu'ils portent avec toi la charge du peuple, et que tu ne la portes pas à toi seul.
E io scenderò, e parlerò quivi teco, e metterò da parte dello Spirito che è sopra te, e lo metterò sopra loro; ed essi porteranno teco il carico del popolo, e tu non lo porterai solo.
Então eu descerei e ali falarei contigo, e tirarei do espírito que está sobre ti, e o porei sobre eles; e contigo levarão a carga do povo, para que tu não a leves sozinho.
我要在那裏降臨,與你說話,把降給你的靈分給他們。他們就和你分擔帶領百姓的擔子,免得你獨自承擔。
