Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this verse arises from the idea of personal responsibility versus divine expectation. Moses questions why he should bear the burden of leading and caring for the people as if he were their parent, highlighting the struggle between human limitations and the overwhelming responsibility placed upon him. This reflects a tension between human capability and divine assignment, emphasizing that while leaders are expected to guide, the expectations may sometimes feel unreasonable or unfair.
