Numbers 14:1-10

VIN(i) 1 Upon this, all the congregation, raising their voices, shouted aloud, and 2 All the Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly said to them: Oh that we had died in Egypt or in this wilderness. 3 Why is the LORD bringing us to this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones shall be taken as plunder. Is it not better for us to return to Egypt? 4 They said to each other: "Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt." 5 Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people. 6 Joshua, the son of Nun and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, who were with those who explored the land, tore their clothes. 7 They reasoned with the entire congregation of Israel saying: The land, which we've passed through to explore is exceedingly good. 8 If the LORD delight in us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us, a land that flows with milk and honey; 9 Only, do not rebel against the LORD. And you, do not fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their defense has turned away from them; and the LORD is with us; do not be afraid of them. 10 But the whole congregation desired to stone them to death. Suddenly, the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting, to all the Israelites.
