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:

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.”

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.”

他們拒絕聽從，也不記念你在他們中間所行的奇事，硬著頸項，存心悖逆，自立首領，要回到他們為奴之地去。但你是樂意饒恕的神，你有恩典，有憐憫，不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛，所以你沒有撇棄他們。

他們對摩西說：“難道埃及沒有墳墓，你要把我們帶來死在曠野嗎？你為甚麼這樣待我們，把我們從埃及領出來呢？我們在埃及的時候，不是對你說過：‘不要管我們，我們要服事埃及人’這話嗎？因為服事埃及人比死在曠野還好。”

當時，全體會眾大聲喧嚷；那夜眾民都哭號。以色列人向摩西和亞倫發怨言；全體會眾都對他們說：“但願我們早死在埃及地，或死在這曠野。耶和華為甚麼把我們領到這地來，死在刀劍之下呢？我們的妻子和孩子要被擄掠。我們回埃及去，豈不更好嗎？”於是他們彼此說：“我們另立一個首領，回埃及去吧。”

在被擄的地方，他們若是回心轉意，在他們被擄去之地回轉，向你祈求，說：‘我們犯了罪了；我們犯了過了，我們作了惡事。’

凡不背著自己的十字架跟隨我的，也不能作我的門徒。你們當中有誰要蓋一座樓，不先坐下計算費用，能不能蓋成呢？恐怕安了地基，而不能完成，所有看見的人都譏笑他，說：‘這個人開了工，卻不能完工。’或者一個王去和別的王打仗，哪有不先坐下想想，能否用一萬兵去抵抗那領兩萬來攻打他的呢？如果不能，就該趁對方還遠的時候，派使者去談判和平的條件。

以色列全體會眾在曠野都向摩西和亞倫發怨言；以色列人對他們說：“我們寧願在埃及地坐在肉鍋旁邊，吃飯吃到飽的時候，死在耶和華的手裡！你們倒把我們領出來，到這曠野，是要叫這全體會眾餓死啊！”

但保羅認為不應帶他去，因為他從前在旁非利亞離開過他們，不跟他們一起去作工。

官長又要對人民宣告：‘誰是懼怕、膽怯的，他可以回家去，恐怕他使他兄弟的心融化，像他的心一樣。’

只是君王不可為自己加添馬匹，也不可使人民回埃及去，為要加添馬匹，因為耶和華曾經對你們說過：‘你們不可再回到那條路去。’

我們的祖先不肯聽從他，反而把他推開，他們的心已經轉向了埃及，

現在你要向眾民宣告：‘害怕戰慄的，可以回去，離開基列山。’”於是眾民中有二萬二千人回去，只剩下一萬人。
