"I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
I am not able to bear all this people alone,.... The burden of government of them, to take care of them and provide sustenance for them; but he was not
alone, for, not to take notice of the rulers and officers in the several divisions of the people that assisted and eased him in lighter matters, advised to by Jethro, Exo 18:21 , the Lord himself was with him in all matters of moment and difficulty; to whom he could apply at any time for advice, and who had promised to supply and did supply the people with suitable and proper provisions every day: because it is too heavy for me; to answer the requests, redress the grievances, and supply the necessities of this people.
