Numbers 14:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?'

⁴ And they say one unto another, `Let us appoint a head, and turn back to Egypt.'

⁵ And Moses falleth -- Aaron also -- on their faces, before all the assembly of the company of the sons of Israel.
