1.That night all the people of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.
2.All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, "If only we had died in Egypt! or in this desert!
3.Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Egypt?"
4.And they said to each other, "We should choose as leader and go back to Egypt."
5.Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there.
6.Joshua son of Nun and Galeb son of Jephumneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes
7.and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good.
8.If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.
9.Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them."
10.But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites.
11.The Lord said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them?
12.I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a great nation greater and stronger than they."
13.Moses said to the Lord, "Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them.
14.And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, O Lord, are with these people and that you, O Lord, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over tham, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of a fire by night.
15.If you put these people to death all at one time, the nations who have heard this report about you will say,
16.'The Lord was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath; so he slaughtered them in the desert.'
17.Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared:
18.'The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.'
19.In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now."
