and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
And þe sones of Israel seiden to hem, We wolden þat we hadden be deed bi þe hoond of þe Lord in þe lond of Egipt, whanne we saten on þe pottis of fleisch, and eeten looues in plentee; whi leden ye vs in to this deseert, þat ye schulden sle al þe multitude with hungur?
