Numbers 14:2-11
2And all the sons of Israel 1grumbled against Moses and Aaron; and the entire congregation said to them, “2If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or even if we had died in this wilderness! 3So why is the Lord bringing us into this land 3to fall by the sword? 4Our wives and our little ones will become plunder! Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” 4So they said to one another, “5Let’s appoint a leader and return to Egypt!”
56Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces in the presence of all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel. 6And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “7The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 88If the Lord is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us--9a land which flows with milk and honey. 9Only 10do not rebel against the Lord; and do not 11fear the people of the land, for they will be our 12prey. Their 13protection is gone from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.” 1014But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then 15the glory of the Lord appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel.
1116And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people be disrespectful to Me? And how long will 17they not 18believe in Me, despite all the signs that I have performed in their midst?
