Numbers 14:4-12

4And they said to one another, "Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt."

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

6And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes

7and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.

8If the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey.

9Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them."

10Then all the congregation said to stone them with stones. But the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.

11And the Lord said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them?

12I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they."
