LXX2012(i)
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 Would we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness, would we had died! 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 one to another, Let us make a ruler, 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 Naue, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land, tore their garments,
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 choose 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 fear you⌃ not the people of the land, for they are meat for us; for the season [of prosperity] is departed from them, but the Lord [is] among us: fear them not.
10 And all the congregation bade 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.
