At this all the people of Isra’el cried out in dismay and wept all night long. Moreover, all the people of Isra’el began grumbling against Moshe and Aharon; the whole community told them, “We wish we had died in the land of Egypt! or that we had died here in the desert! Why is ADONAI bringing us to this land, where we will die by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be taken as booty! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to Egypt?” And they said to each other, “Let’s appoint a leader and return to Egypt!” Moshe and Aharon fell on their faces before the entire assembled community of the people of Isra’el. Y’hoshua the son of Nun and Kalev the son of Y’funeh, from the detachment that had reconnoitered the land, tore their clothes and said to the whole community of Isra’el, “The land we passed through in order to spy it out is an outstandingly good land! (iii) If ADONAI is pleased with us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us — a land flowing with milk and honey. Just don’t rebel against ADONAI. And don’t be afraid of the people living in the land — we’ll eat them up! Their defense has been taken away from them, and ADONAI is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!” But just as the whole community were saying they should be stoned to death, the glory of ADONAI appeared in the tent of meeting to all the people of Isra’el.
