"Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?

AT: "There are plenty of graveyards in Egypt for us to be buried in. You did not have to take us into the wilderness to die!"

AT: "You have led us out of Egypt to be killed."

AT: "We told you to leave us alone so we can continue to be slaves of the Egyptians."
