And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.
And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:
“If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return to Egypt?”
And they said to one another, “Let us appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”
And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.
