So they said to one another,“ Let’s appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”

众人彼此说：“我们不如立一个首领回埃及去吧！”

他们彼此说：“我们不如选一个领袖，回埃及去吧！”

他们彼此说：“我们不如选一个领袖，回埃及去吧！”

他们彼此议论说：“我们选一位首领带我们回埃及吧！”

于是他们彼此说：“我们另立一个首领，回埃及去吧。”

眾人彼此說：「我們不如立一個首領回埃及去吧！」

他們彼此說：「我們不如選一個領袖，回埃及去吧！」

他們彼此說：「我們不如選一個領袖，回埃及去吧！」

他們彼此議論說：「我們選一位首領帶我們回埃及吧！」

於是他們彼此說：“我們另立一個首領，回埃及去吧。”

他們就彼此說：『我們立個首領，回埃及去吧！』

遂相議曰、莫若立帥、以歸埃及、

於是相議曰、莫若立牧、以歸埃及。

於是相議曰、莫若立一長、以歸伊及、

And they said to each other,“ We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”

They said to one another,“ We should choose another leader. We should go back to Egypt.”

And they said to one another,“ Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”

Then they plotted among themselves,“ Let’s choose a new leader and go back to Egypt!”

So they said to one another,“ Let’s appoint a leader and go back to Egypt.”

So they said to one another,“ Let’s appoint a leader and return to Egypt!”

So they said to one another,“ Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.”

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

So they said to one another,“ Let’s appoint a leader and go back to Egypt.”

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

They said to one another,“ Let’s choose a leader, and let’s return into Egypt.”

Our ancestors were unwilling to obey him, but pushed him aside and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

Moreover, he must not accumulate horses for himself or allow the people to return to Egypt to do so, for the LORD has said you must never again return that way.

“ But they– our ancestors– behaved presumptuously; they rebelled and did not obey your commandments.They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love. You did not abandon them,

For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them.They are illustrations of this true proverb:“ A dog returns to its own vomit,” and“ A sow, after washing herself, wallows in the mire.”

Then the LORD will make you return to Egypt by ship, over a route I said to you that you would never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”

In fact, if they had been thinking of the land that they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.

But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I take no pleasure in him.But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Remember Lot’s wife!
