fall_v a_o murmur_a against_o moses_n what_o be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o have_v die_v in_o egypt_n be_v there_o no_o grave_n in_o egypt_n be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n then_o to_o go_v in_o and_o die_v there_o they_o wish_v to_o die_v for_o fear_n of_o death_n they_o wish_v themselves_o dead_a for_o fear_n they_o shall_v die_v then_o they_o go_v a_o little_a further_o they_o will_v forsooth_o choose_v a_o new_a captain_n and_o go_v back_o into_o egypt_n they_o will_v not_o go_v into_o the_o pleasant_a land_n they_o will_v choose_v a_o elect_a one_o and_o
