And wherefore doth Jehovah bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?

και δια τι μας εφερεν ο Κυριος εις την γην ταυτην να πεσωμεν δια μαχαιρας, να γεινωσι διαρπαγη αι γυναικες και τα τεκνα ημων; δεν ητο καλητερον εις ημας να επιστρεψωμεν εις την Αιγυπτον;

And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
