3 And why has the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? Would it not be better for us to return into Egypt?
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, who were of those that had spied out the land, rent their clothes;
7 and they spoke unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceeding good land.
8 If the Lord delights in us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Therefore, do not be rebels against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land, for they are our bread; their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.
