Numbers 14:2-12

²And all the people murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them, Oh who would grant that we had died in the land of Egypt! or that we might but die in this wilderness!

³And wherefore doth the Lord bring us unto yonder land, to fall by the sword? that our wives and our children may become a prey? is it not better for us to return to Egypt?

⁴And they said one to another, Let us appoint a chief, and let us return to Egypt.

⁵Then fell Moses and Aaron on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

⁶And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Yephunneh, of those that had spied out the land, rent their garments.

⁷And they said unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, as followeth, The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, this land is exceedingly good.

⁸If the Lord have delight in us, then will he bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which is flowing with milk and honey.

⁹Only against the Lord do ye not rebel; and then ye need not fear the people of the land; for they are our bread: their shadow is departed from them, while the Lord is with us; fear them not.

¹⁰But all the congregation said to stone them with stones: when the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation unto all the children of Israel.

¹¹And the Lord said unto Moses, How long yet shall this people provoke me? and how long yet will they not believe in me, with all the signs which I have shown in the midst of them?

¹²I will smite them with the pestilence, and root them out, and I will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
