²² And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are `set' on evil.

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.

²⁴ And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

²⁰ Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was wroth with them.

²⁴ And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

¹¹ And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

¹⁶ For they sleep not, except they do evil; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

⁴ He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

²⁷ For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death?

⁴ And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

²⁸ And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

² And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:

³ and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

⁴ Then said Jehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
