And why is Jehovah bringing us to this land that we may fall by the sword, that our wives and our little ones may become a prey? Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?

Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up!

And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;

See that ye refuse not him that speaks. For if those did not escape who had refused him who uttered the oracles on earth, much more we who turn away from him who does so from heaven:

Mindful

And forgot his doings, and his marvellous works which he had shewn them.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?

Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing them and established in the present truth.

Appointed

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return to Egypt.

to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,

A god

Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in goodness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth generation.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

Who is a God like unto thee, that forgiveth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in loving-kindness.

Forsookest

and I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not forsake us nor cast us off:

Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.
