Moshe Rabbeinu asks Hashem to die. The Jews request for meat rattled Moshe to the point where he said to Hashem: ‘Please kill me if I find favor in your eyes.’ Hashem’s response is to tell Moshe to ‘gather 70 elders.’

Hashem instructed Moshe not to count the Leviim ‘among the Jewish people.’ The Midrash explains that this was in order to save their lives from the angel of death. The expression ‘Seu Es Rosh’ foretells of the death of the entire Jewish generation in the desert.
