Numbers 14:2-4
New King James Version
2 (A)And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3 Why has the Lord brought us to this land to [a]fall by the sword, that our wives and (B)children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” 4 So they said to one another, (C)“Let us select a leader and (D)return to Egypt.”
