Numbers 20:4Bible in Basic English 1965Why have you taken the Lord's people into this waste, for death to come to us and to our cattle there? See the chapter |
And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.
