Numbers 14:1-4

LEB(i) 1 Then all the community lifted up their voices,* and the people wept during that night. 2 And all the Israelites* grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and all the community said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt or in this desert! 3 Why did Yahweh bring us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little children will become plunder; would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?" 4 They said to each other,* "Let us appoint a leader, and we will return to Egypt."
