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

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.

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

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

“ But our ancestors refused to listen to Moses. They rejected him and wanted to return to Egypt.

“ The king must not build up a large stable of horses for himself or send his people to Egypt to buy horses, for the Lord has told you,‘ You must never return to Egypt.’

“ But our ancestors were proud and stubborn, and they paid no attention to your commands.They refused to obey and did not remember the miracles you had done for them. Instead, they became stubborn and appointed a leader to take them back to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love. You did not abandon them,

It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.They prove the truth of this proverb:“ A dog returns to its vomit.” And another says,“ A washed pig returns to the mud.”

Then the Lord will send you back to Egypt in ships, to a destination I promised you would never see again. There you will offer to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves, but no one will buy you.”

If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back.

And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.

Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!
