1. And Kol HaEdah lifted up their voice, and cried; and HaAm wept that night.
2. And Kol Bnei Yisroel murmured against Moshe and against Aharon: and the Kol HaEdah said unto them, If only we had died in Eretz Mitzrayim! Or if only we had died in this midbar!
3. And why hath Hashem brought us unto this land, to fall by the cherev, that nasheinu (our wives) and our children should be as plunder? Were it not better for us to go back unto Mitzrayim?
4. And they said one to another, Let us make a Rosh (Leader), and let us go back unto Mitzrayim.
5. Then Moshe and Aharon fell on their faces before Kol Kehal Adat Bnei Yisroel.
6. And Yehoshua ben Nun, and Kalev ben Yephunneh, which were of them that explored HaAretz, tore their clothes:
7. And they spoke unto Kol Adat Bnei Yisroel, saying, HaAretz, which we passed through to explore it, is a tovah haaretz me'od me'od.
8. If Hashem delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land zavat cholov udevash.
9. Only rebel not ye against Hashem, neither fear ye the Am HaAretz; for they are lachmeinu (our bread): their protection is departed from them, and Hashem is with us: fear them not.
10. But Kol HaEdah talked of stoning them with avanim. And the Kavod Hashem appeared in the Ohel Mo'ed before Kol Bnei Yisroel.
