²⁶ Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God:

¹ And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

² And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness!

³ And wherefore doth Jehovah bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

⁴ And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

⁵¹ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.

²⁴ Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

²⁵ But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

¹⁰ But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, `and' himself fought against them.
