Leeser(i)
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried aloud; and the people wept that night.
2 And all the people murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them, Oh who would grant that we had died in the land of Egypt! or that we might but die in this wilderness!
3 And wherefore doth the Lord bring us unto yonder land, to fall by the sword? that our wives and our children may become a prey? is it not better for us to return to Egypt?
4 And they said one to another, Let us appoint a chief, and let us return to Egypt.
5 Then fell Moses and Aaron on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Yephunneh, of those that had spied out the land, rent their garments.
7 And they said unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, as followeth, The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, this land is exceedingly good.
8 If the Lord have delight in us, then will he bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which is flowing with milk and honey.
9 Only against the Lord do ye not rebel; and then ye need not fear the people of the land; for they are our bread: their shadow is departed from them, while the Lord is with us; fear them not.
10 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones: when the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation unto all the children of Israel.
