¹ AND ALL the congregation cried out with a loud voice, and wept that night. ² All the Israelites grumbled and deplored their situation, accusing Moses and Aaron, to whom the whole congregation said, Would that we had died in Egypt! Or that we had died in this wilderness! ³ Why does the Lord bring us to this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones will be a prey. Is it not better for us to return to Egypt? ⁴ And they said one to another, Let us choose a captain and return to Egypt. ⁵ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of Israelites. ⁶ And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among the scouts who had searched the land, rent their clothes, ⁷ And they said to all the company of Israelites, The land through which we passed as scouts is an exceedingly good land. ⁸ If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey. ⁹ Only do not rebel against the Lord, neither fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their defense and the shadow is removed from over them, but the Lord is with us. Fear them not. ¹⁰ But all the congregation said to stone with stones. But the glory of the Lord appeared at the Tent of Meeting before all the Israelites.
