Numbers 14:3-11
English Standard Version
Chapter 14
3Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?" 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.
