Ex 14:11-12
11 They told Moses, "Weren't the cemeteries large enough in Egypt so that you had to take us out here in the wilderness to die? What have you done to us, taking us out of Egypt? 12 Back in Egypt didn't we tell you this would happen? Didn't we tell you, 'Leave us alone here in Egypt — we're better off as slaves in Egypt than as corpses in the wilderness.'"

The Israelites only saw Moses and not God because they could see Moses and they could not see God. We have to be careful that we don’t do the same thing because those who did didn’t make it to the promised land.
