Commentary on Exodus 14:12
The continued complaint 'Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?' claims they warned Moses, though no such conversation is recorded. Fear rewrites history, imagining past wisdom. The perverse conclusion 'it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness' prefers slavery to freedom, bondage to faith. This encapsulates fallen humanity's tendency toward known misery over risky trust.
