Verse 4 is found in chapter 14 of Numbers. The community responds to the spies’ report with weeping, a desire to return to Egypt, and rejection of Moses and Aaron. Joshua and Caleb tear their clothes and attempt to convince the people that the land is good and that God can give it to them. The proposal to stone them reveals that collective unbelief has reached a breaking point with the mission received.

Und einer sprach zu dem andern: Laßt uns einen Hauptmann aufwerfen und wieder nach Ägypten ziehen!
Y decían el uno al otro: Hagamos un capitán, y volvámonos a Egipto.
Et ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Nommons un chef, et retournons en Egypte.
E dissero l’uno all’altro: Costituiamoci un capo, e ritorniamocene in Egitto
E diziam uns aos outros: Constituamos um líder, e voltemos ao Egito.
他們彼此說:「我們不如選一個領袖,回 埃及 去吧!」
