Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?

μηπως εγω συνελαβον ολον τον λαον τουτον; η εγω εγεννησα αυτους, δια να μοι λεγης, Λαβε αυτον εις τον κολπον σου, καθως βασταζει η τροφος το θηλαζον βρεφος, εις την γην την οποιαν ωμοσας προς τους πατερας αυτων;

Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
