And they said to each other,“ We should choose a 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、

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.

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 obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.

The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you,“ You are not to go back that way again.”

“ But they, our ancestors, became arrogant and stiff- necked, and they did not obey your commands.They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them,

It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.Of them the proverbs are true:“ A dog returns to its vomit,” and,“ A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”

The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.

If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.

And,“ But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.”But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

Remember Lot’s wife!
