Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because YY was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
For the Kenaanim and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
And Y'howshu`a said, Alas, O YY Elohim, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Yarden, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to Elohim we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Yarden!
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
