Numbers 14:1-4

The People Rebel

Then all the congregation raised a loud cry, and the people a wept that night. And all the people of Israel b grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or c would that we had died in this wilderness! Why is the  Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? d Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?” And they said to one another, e “Let us choose a leader and f go back to Egypt.”
