Exodus 16:3, “If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt!” they said. “There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, but you have brought us into this desert to starve this whole assembly to death!” Just as the mixed multitude desired to return and die in Egypt, many people who leave behind a life of sin desire to return to it. They miss the people they thought were friends, they miss the feeling of being surrounded by security even when they knew it could very well destroy them.
