Numbers 14:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, and the whole congregation said unto them, Oh, that we might die in the land of Egypt or that we might die in this wilderness!

³ And why has the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? Would it not be better for us to return into Egypt?

⁴ And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
