and if you say,‘ No, instead we’ll go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for food, and we’ll live there,’

说：‘我们不住这地，却要进入埃及地，在那里看不见争战，听不见角声，也不致无食饥饿。我们必住在那里。’

说：‘我们不留在这地，却要进入埃及地，在那里我们看不见战争，听不见角声，也不致缺食挨饿；我们要住在那里。’

说：‘我们不留在这地，却要进入埃及地，在那里我们看不见战争，听不见角声，也不致缺食挨饿；我们要住在那里。’

非要去埃及住，以为那里没有战争，听不见号角声，也不会忍饥挨饿，

或说：‘不！我们要去埃及地，在那里看不到战争，听不见号角的声音，也不会因缺乏粮食而饥饿；我们要留在那里。’

說：『我們不住這地，卻要進入埃及地，在那裏看不見爭戰，聽不見角聲，也不致無食飢餓。我們必住在那裏。』

說：『我們不留在這地，卻要進入埃及地，在那裏我們看不見戰爭，聽不見角聲，也不致缺食挨餓；我們要住在那裏。』

說：『我們不留在這地，卻要進入埃及地，在那裏我們看不見戰爭，聽不見角聲，也不致缺食挨餓；我們要住在那裏。』

非要去埃及住，以為那裡沒有戰爭，聽不見號角聲，也不會忍饑挨餓，

或說：‘不！我們要去埃及地，在那裡看不到戰爭，聽不見號角的聲音，也不會因缺乏糧食而飢餓；我們要留在那裡。’

而說：「不，我們要進的是埃及地，在那裏我們不至於聽到戰爭，號角的聲音不至於聽到，糧食也不至於鬧饑荒；就在那裏我們要居住着」，

曰、不然、我必入埃及地、在彼不睹戰事、不聞角聲、不乏食而飢餓、爰處爰居、

必往埃及、恆居於彼、不見戰鬥、不聞角音、不遇饑饉、

如曰、我必往伊及地、在彼不見戰事、不聞角聲、不至缺食而饑餓、我必居於伊及、

and if you say,‘ No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the trumpet or be hungry for bread,’

And suppose you say,‘ No! We’ll go and live in Egypt. There we won’t have to face war anymore. We won’t hear the trumpets of war. And we won’t get hungry.’

and saying,‘ No, we will go to the land of Egypt, where we shall not see war or hear the sound of the trumpet or be hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,’

instead, we will go to Egypt where we will be free from war, the call to arms, and hunger,’

saying,“ No, but we will go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, or hear the sound of a trumpet, or hunger for bread, and we will stay there”;

saying,‘ No, but we will go to the land of Egypt where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor be hungry for bread, and there we will dwell’—

saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:

and if you say,‘ No, instead we’ll go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for food, and we’ll live there,’

Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:

You must not say,‘ No, we will not stay. Instead we will go and live in the land of Egypt where we will not face war, or hear the enemy’s trumpet calls, or starve for lack of food.’

saying,“ No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:”’

They left, stopping in Geruth Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to make their way into Egypt,

My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in agony! Oh, the pain in my heart! My heart pounds; I cannot be silent. For you, my soul, have heard the sound of the ram’s horn— the shout of battle.

The Israelites said to them,“ If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by pots of meat and ate all the bread we wanted. Instead, you brought us into this wilderness to make this whole assembly die of hunger!”

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and who depend on horses! They trust in the abundance of chariots and in the large number of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek the LORD.

How long must I see the signal flag and hear the sound of the ram’s horn?

You say,“ No! We will escape on horses”— therefore you will escape!— and,“ We will ride on fast horses”— but those who pursue you will be faster.

But the people thirsted there for water and grumbled against Moses. They said,“ Why did you ever bring us up from Egypt to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?”

Is it not enough that you brought us up from a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Do you also have to appoint yourself as ruler over us?

The riffraff among them had a strong craving for other food. The Israelites wept again and said,“ Who will feed us meat?We remember the free fish we ate in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

When someone hears the words of this oath, he may consider himself exempt, thinking,‘ I will have peace even though I follow my own stubborn heart.’ This will lead to the destruction of the well-watered land as well as the dry land.

They went to the land of Egypt because they did not obey the LORD. They went as far as Tahpanhes.
