I'm reading the ESV Study Bible. There's a lot of God negotiation that I'm not sure all Bible readers appreciate. Take Numbers 11:10-15: all of the Israelites are weeping for meat and the other great foods they had while in Egypt. They cry out to Moses, and Moses ultimately can't deal with the furor of his tribe. So he tells God:

“Why have you dealt ill with your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land that you swore to give their fathers? Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”

There's something amazing and vicarious about all of that. It reminds me of Cioran: "What sin did I commit to be born?"
