Bamidbar 14:1-3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
14 And Kol HaEdah lifted up their voice, and cried; and HaAm wept that night.
2 And Kol Bnei Yisroel murmured against Moshe and against Aharon: and the Kol HaEdah said unto them, If only we had died in Eretz Mitzrayim! Or if only we had died in this midbar!
3 And why hath Hashem brought us unto this land, to fall by the cherev, that nasheinu (our wives) and our children should be as plunder? Were it not better for us to go back unto Mitzrayim?
