TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected

And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God,
