Numbers 14:2-4 And all the sons of Israel, murmured against Moses and against Aaron,––and all the assembly said unto them––Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or, in this wilderness, oh that we had died!

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And all the sons of Israel, murmured against Moses and against Aaron,––and all the assembly said unto them––Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or, in this wilderness, oh that we had died! ³ Wherefore, then, is Yahweh bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones, will become a prey! Would it not be well for us to go back towards Egypt? ⁴ And they said, one to another,––Let us appoint a head, and let us go back towards Egypt.
