Why is the LORD bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt? And they said to one another, Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt. Numbers 14:34 ESV
When the Israelites came to the land that was promised them, they stopped and sent out spies to survey it. When the spies returned, all of them but Caleb and Joshua told a grim tale of giants living in fortresses. The Israelites were terrified and decided to stone Moses, choose another leader, and go back to Egypt.
