Whoa, who is this Anti-Moses?
They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.
(Nechemiah 9:17)
Is this mentioned anywhere in the Torah? I cannot recall an episode where the people chose a leader to return to Egypt. Can anyone help me out?

Think so. It says the people came before Moses. Obviously it was impossible for 1.2 million (minimum) people to go over to one man and say something, especially the same thing.
So they must have appointed a representative.
Can you quote chapter and verse please?
the language of ויתנו ראש seems to refer back to the נתנה ראש in this incident
thanks steg, that must be it!
