In response to Moses feeling overwhelmed with the people of Israel and their complaints, He tells Moses to appoint 70 Elders. They appear before the Tent of Meeting and the Lord shares the anointing of Moses with each of them so they would stand with him and help carry the burden of the people. Then the Lord promises to give them meat for 30 days in response to their complaints. Moses can't understand how it was possible to get that much meat and the Lord responds with the question: Is the Lords hand shortened? Even though Moses had seen God to many miracles, he too could be overwhelmed by the needs and forget that what appears impossible is always Him-possible.
