Numbers 14:1-4

Darby Translation

14 And the whole assembly lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

² And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole assembly said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness would that we had died!

³ And why is Jehovah bringing us to this land that we may fall by the sword, that our wives and our little ones may become a prey? Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?

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