Exodus 14:10-12

Lexham English Bible

¹⁰ And Pharaoh approached, and the Israelites^[a] lifted their eyes, and there were the Egyptians traveling after them! And they were very afraid, and the Israelites^[b] cried out to Yahweh. ¹¹ And they said to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt? Is that why you have taken us to die in the desert? What is this you have done to us by bringing us out from Egypt! ¹² Isn’t this the word we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone so that we can serve Egypt!’ because serving Egypt is better for us than our dying in the desert.”
