NSB(i)
1 All the Israelite congregation raised their voices and cried out loud all that night.
2 They complained to Moses and Aaron: »If only we had died in Egypt or in this desert!
3 »Why is Jehovah bringing us to this land? Is it just to have us die in battle? Our wives and children will be taken as prisoners of war! Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?«
4 They said to each other: »Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt.«
