When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said,“ If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”

Pharaoh let the people go. The shortest road from Goshen to Canaan went through the Philistine country. But God didn’t lead them that way. God said,“ If they have to go into battle, they might change their minds. They might return to Egypt.”

When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said,“ Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt.”

When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said,“ If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”

When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road to the land of the Philistines, even though it was nearby; for God said,“ The people will change their minds and return to Egypt if they face war.”

Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said,“ The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.”

Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said,“ Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.”

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not[ through] the way of the land of the Philistines, although that[ was] near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

When Pharaoh released the people, God did not lead them by the way to the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said,“ Lest the people change their minds and return to Egypt when they experience war.”

他们拒绝听从，忘记了你为他们所行的奇事，顽固不化，自立首领要回埃及做奴隶。但你是乐意饶恕，有恩典，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，充满慈爱的上帝，你没有离弃他们。

他们对摩西说：“难道埃及没有坟地，要你带我们出来死在旷野吗？为什么要带我们离开埃及呢？我们对你说过，别管我们，就让我们服侍埃及人吧。服侍埃及人总比死在旷野好啊！”

当晚，全体会众放声大哭，整夜哀号。他们埋怨摩西和亚伦说：“我们还不如死在埃及或旷野！耶和华为什么把我们领到这里来，让我们死于刀下？我们的妻儿必被掳去。我们还不如返回埃及。”他们彼此议论说：“我们选一位首领带我们回埃及吧！”

若他们在那里回心转意，向你恳求，承认自己犯罪作恶了；

若不背起自己的十字架跟从我，就不能做我的门徒。“哪有人建楼房不事先坐下来计算成本，看能否建成？否则，打好了地基却不能完工，徒惹别人嘲笑，‘这个人开了工，却不能完工！’“哪有王要跟另一个王打仗时，不先坐下来酌量一下自己的一万人是否敌得过对方的两万人？如果自知不敌，一定趁敌人还远的时候，就差使者去求和。

以色列全体会众在旷野向摩西和亚伦发怨言说：“我们还不如当初在埃及就死在耶和华手中。在那里，我们至少可以围在肉锅旁吃个饱。现在，你把我们带到旷野来，是要叫全体会众饿死在这里吗？”

但保罗坚持不带他同行，因为他在旁非利亚离开了他们，没有和他们一起做工。

官长也要告诉士兵，‘有没有胆怯、害怕的？他可以回家去，免得影响他人士气。’

王不可拥有大量马匹，也不可派人到埃及去购买马匹，因为耶和华已经告诉你们不可回埃及。

“可是我们的祖先不听从他，甚至弃绝他，心里对埃及恋恋不舍。

你要向他们宣布，胆小害怕的人可以离开基列山回家。”结果两万二千人离去，只剩下一万人。
