Numbers 14:3-5
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
3 Would God that we had died in Egypt and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?
4 And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel.

5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown(F) in front of the whole Israelite assembly(G) gathered there.
