11:11 And Moses said to the Lord, “Why have you afflicted28 your servant? Why have I not found favor in your sight, that29 you lay the burden of this entire people on me?

tn The infinitive construct with the preposition is expressing the result of not finding favor with God (see R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 12–13, §57). What Moses is claiming is that because he has been given this burden God did not show him favor.
