Exegesis
The conditional im {אִם־ | ʾim} “if” sets the premise for God’s directive introduced by ki tomar elai {כִּֽי־תֹאמַ֨ר אֵלַ֜י | kî tōmār ʾē-lay} “that you say to me.”
In context — Numbers 11:12
Am I the one who has conceived all these people? Have I given birth to them, that You should say to me, Carry them in your bosom , as the nurse carries the infant to the land which You swore to their fathers?
