…while we journeyed in the wilderness up to the land of Jerusalem, to obtain the record of the Jews. …my mother, Sariah, …truly had mourned because of us. For she had supposed that we had perished in the wilderness and she also had complained against my father, telling him that he was a visionary man; saying:
“Behold thou hast led us forth from the land of our inheritance, and my sons are no more, and we perish in the wilderness.”
and after this manner of language had my mother complained against my father.
