1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept all that night.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; and all the congregation said to them,
3 If only we would have died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we would have died in this wilderness! And why does the Lord bring us into this land to fall in war? Our wives and our children shall be for a prey: now then it is better to return into Egypt.
4 And they said to one another, Let us select a leader and return into Egypt.
5 And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those that spied out the land, tore their clothes,
7 and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.
8 If the Lord delights in us, He will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Only depart not from the Lord; and do not fear the people of the land, for they shall be as food to us; for the season of prosperity has departed from them, but the Lord is among us; fear them not.
10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to all the children of Israel.
