4. Mosebok 14,2

AaronIsraelMosesEgypt
Discouragement and depression

1 Den natten ropte hele menigheten høyt og gråt, og folket gråt.

Alle israelittene klaget mot Moses og Aron, og hele menigheten sa til dem: “Hadde vi bare omkommet i Egypt! Eller til og med i denne ørkenen!

3 Hvorfor fører Herren oss til dette landet for å falle for sverdet? Våre koner og barn vil bli tatt som bytte. Ville det ikke være bedre for oss å vende tilbake til Egypt?”

4 Og de sa til hverandre: “La oss utnevne en leder og dra tilbake til Egypt.”
