“And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.”
And they said to each other, 'We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt' — the plot to choose an alternative leader (ha'yom) constitutes rebellion not merely against Moses but against God's covenant authority structure. The decision to appoint a new leader and return to Egypt represents a complete rejection of the Exodus narrative.
