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.”

他們不肯順從，也不記念你在他們中間所行的奇事，竟硬着頸項，居心悖逆，自立領袖，要回埃及他們為奴之地。但你是樂意饒恕人，有恩惠，有憐憫，不輕易發怒，有豐盛慈愛的神，並沒有丟棄他們。

他們對摩西說：「難道埃及沒有墳地，你要把我們帶來死在曠野嗎？你為甚麼這樣待我們，將我們從埃及領出來呢？我們在埃及豈沒有對你說過，不要攪擾我們，讓我們服事埃及人嗎？因為服事埃及人總比死在曠野好。」

全會眾大聲喧嚷，那夜百姓哭號。以色列眾人向摩西和亞倫發怨言，全會眾對他們說：「我們寧願死在埃及地，寧願死在這曠野！耶和華為甚麼要把我們領到那地，讓我們倒在刀下呢？我們的妻子和孩子必成為擄物。我們回埃及去豈不更好嗎？」他們彼此說：「我們不如選一個領袖，回埃及去吧！」

他們若在被擄之地那裏回心轉意，在擄掠者之地悔改，向你懇求說：『我們有罪了，我們悖逆了，我們作惡了』；

凡不背着自己的十字架來跟從我的，也不能作我的門徒。你們哪一個要蓋一座樓，不先坐下來計算費用，看能不能蓋成？免得安了地基，不能蓋成，看見的人都笑話他，說：『這個人開了工，卻不能完工。』或是一個王出去和別的王打仗，豈不先坐下來酌量，他能不能用一萬兵去抵抗那領二萬兵來攻打他的嗎？若是不能，他就趁敵人還遠的時候，派使者去談和平的條件。

以色列全會眾在曠野向摩西和亞倫發怨言。以色列人對他們說：「我們寧願在埃及地死在耶和華手中！那時我們坐在肉鍋旁，吃餅得飽。你們卻將我們領出來，到這曠野，要叫這全會眾都餓死啊！」

但保羅認為不宜帶他去，因為馬可從前在旁非利亞離開他們，不和他們一起工作。

官長要繼續對士兵說：『誰懼怕，心驚膽戰，可以回家去，免得他弟兄的心像他的心一樣消沉。』

只是王不可為自己加添馬匹，也不可為加添馬匹使百姓回埃及去，因耶和華曾對你們說：『不可再回那條路去。』

我們的祖宗不肯聽從，反棄絕他，他們的心轉向埃及，

現在你要向這百姓宣告說：『凡懼怕戰兢的，可以離開基列山回去。』」於是有二萬二千人回去，只剩下一萬人。
