1. That night all of the people in the community raised their voices. They sobbed out loud.
2. The people of Israel spoke against Moses and Aaron. The whole community said to them, "We wish we had died in Egypt or even in this desert.
3. Why is the Lord bringing us to this land? We're going to be killed with swords. Our enemies will capture our wives and children. Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Egypt?"
4. They said to one another, "We should choose another leader. We should go back to Egypt."
5. Then Moses and Aaron fell with their faces to the ground. They did it in front of the whole community of Israel that was gathered there.
