Exegesis
The paired perfect verbs hariti {הָרִ֗יתִי | hārîṯî} “have I conceived” and yelidtihu {יְלִדְתִּ֑יהוּ | yᵉ-lîḏ-tə-hû} “have I given birth to him” deny maternal agency.
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?
