Números 14:1 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:1

And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried

2 Y murmuraron contra Mois茅s y Aar贸n todos los hijos de Israel; y les dijo toda la congregaci贸n: 隆Ojal谩 hubi茅ramos muerto en la tierra de Egipto! 隆Ojal谩 hubi茅ramos muerto en este desierto!
3 驴Y por qu茅 nos trae el SE脩OR a esta tierra para caer a espada? Nuestras mujeres y nuestros hijos vendr谩n a ser presa. 驴No ser铆a mejor que nos volvi茅ramos a Egipto?
