Numbers 14:1-4

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.
