Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us be, and we will serve the Egyptians, for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness’?”
Targum Onkelos
הֲלָא דֵּין פִּתְגָמָא דְּמַלֵּילְנָא עִמָּךְ בְּמִצְרַיִם לְמֵימַר שְׁבוֹק מִנַּנָא וְנִפְלַח יָת מִצְרָאֵי אֲרֵי טָב לַנָא דְּנִפְלַח יָת מִצְרָאֵי מִדִּנְמוּת בְּמַדְבְּרָא׃
