The Israeli people continued to complain
1 That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly. 2 The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, "We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert! 3 Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away to be slaves. Instead of going to Canaan. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!" 4 Then some of them said to each other, "We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!"
5 Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down to pray in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there. 6 Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes because they were very dismayed. 7 They said to the Israeli people, "The land that we explored is very good. 8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us. 9 So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will ◄gobble them up/completely destroy them► [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us and help us. So do not be afraid of them!"
