*
And all the congregation lifted up their voice ,
and cried ;
and the people wept that night .
*
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron :
and the whole congregation said unto them ,
Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt !
or would God we had died in this wilderness !
*
And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land ,
to fall by the sword ,
that our wives and our children should be a prey ?
were it not better for us to return into Egypt ?
*
And they said one to another ,
Let us make a captain ,
and let us return into Egypt .
*
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel .
*
And Joshua the son of Nun ,
and Caleb the son of Jephunneh ,
which were of them that searched the land ,
rent their clothes :
*
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel ,
saying ,
The land ,
which we passed through to search it ,
is an exceeding good land .
*
If the LORD delight in us ,
then he will bring us into this land ,
and give it us ;
a land which floweth with milk and honey .
*
Only rebel not ye against the LORD ,
neither fear ye the people of the land ;
for they are bread for us :
their defence is departed from them ,
and the LORD is with us :
fear them not .
*
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones .
And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
How long will this people provoke me ?
and how long will it be ere they believe me ,
for all the signs which I have shewed among them ?
*
I will smite them with the pestilence ,
and disinherit them ,
and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they .
