Verse 12

Is not this the word{H1697} that we did tell{H1696}{(H8765)} thee in Egypt{H4714}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Let us alone{H2308}{(H8798)}, that we may serve{H5647}{(H8799)} the Egyptians{H4714}? For it had been better{H2896} for us to serve{H5647}{(H8800)} the Egyptians{H4714}, than that we should die{H4191}{(H8800)} in the wilderness{H4057}.
