Numbers 16:13-15
The Voice
13 You took us out of a place that was so rich—Egypt, flowing with milk and honey—in order to let us die in this desert wasteland, and now you’re actually trying to assert yourself as our ruler. 14 You haven’t brought us to a land flowing with milk and honey or delivered on your promise of fields and vineyards to call our own. What else will you do? Are you going to pluck out the eyes of these 250 men now? There’s no way we’re coming to you.
15 Now, Moses was furious.
Moses (to the Lord): Whatever You do, do not even look at the offerings from these people. I’ve never taken anything that belonged to them or hurt them in any way.
Numbers 16:13-15
New International Version
13 Isn’t it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey(A) to kill us in the wilderness?(B) And now you also want to lord it over us!(C) 14 Moreover, you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey(D) or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards.(E) Do you want to treat these men like slaves[a]?(F) No, we will not come!(G)”
15 Then Moses became very angry(H) and said to the Lord, “Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey(I) from them, nor have I wronged any of them.”
