2 MOSEBOG 14:12

Var det ikke det, vi sagde til dig i Ægypten: Lad os i Fred, og lad os blive ved at trælle for Ægypterne! Thi det er bedre for os at trælle for Ægypterne end at dø i Ørkenen.”

Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
