- "And they saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Because¹¹ [there were] no¹ gravesª in Egypt,ª hast thou taken us awayª° to dieª° in the wilderness?ª wherefore²¹ hast thou dealtª° thus¹ with us, to carry us forthª° out of Egypt?ª¹ ... [Is] not¹ this¹ the wordª that¹ we did tellª°¹ thee in Egypt,ª saying,ª° Let us alone,ª°¹ that we may serveª°¹ the Egyptians?ª For¹ [it had been] betterª for us to serveª°¹ the Egyptians,ª than that we should dieª°¹ in the wilderness.ª" {Exd 14:11-12} + "And all¹ the congregationª lifted upª°¹ their voice,ª and cried;ª° and the peopleª weptª° that¹ night.ª ... And they saidª° oneª to¹ another,ª Let us makeª° a captain,ª and let us returnª° into Egypt.ª" {Num 14:1-4} + "And the officersª° shall speakª° furtherª° unto¹ the people,ª and they shall say,ª° What¹ manª [is there that is] fearfulª and fainthearted?ªª let him go²°¹ and returnª° unto his house,ª lest¹¹ his brethren'sª heartª faintª° as well as his heart.ª" {Deu 20:8} + "Now¹ therefore go to,ª proclaimª° in the earsª of the people,ª saying,ª° Whosoever¹ [is] fearfulª and afraid,ª let him returnª° and depart earlyª° from mountª¹ Gilead.ª And there returnedª° of¹ the peopleª twentyª and twoª thousand;ª and there remainedª° tenª thousand.ª" {Jdg 7:3} + "[Yet] if they shall bethink²° themselves¹¹¹ in the landª whither¹¹ they were carried captives,ª° and repent,ª°² and make supplicationª° unto¹ thee in the landª of them that carried them captives,ª° saying,ª° We have sinned,ª° and have done perversely,ª° we have committed wickedness;ª°" {1Kg 8:47} + "Andª whosoeverª doth²° notª bearª° his²¹ cross,ª andª comeª° afterª me,ª cannotªª° beª° myª disciple.ª ...
