and against
Aaron, and all
the company
say
unto
them, `O
that
we had died in the land of Egypt, or in
this
wilderness,
O
that
we had died!
All the Israelites
grumbled
against Moses and Aaron, and the whole

we had died in the land of Egypt, or if
only
we had died in
this
wilderness
!
and
why is Jehovah
bringing us in
unto
this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our
infants
are
become a
prey;
is
it not good
for us to turn
back to Egypt? '
Why is the
LORD
bringing us into
this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children
will
become plunder.
Would
it not be
better
for us to go
back to Egypt? ”
And
they say
one unto
another, `
Let us appoint a head,
and turn
back
to Egypt. '
So
they said
to
one another, “
Let us appoint a leader
and return
to Egypt. ”

their garments,

the land, tore
their clothes
and they
speak
unto

the
company
of
the sons

The land into
which
we have
passed over
to
spy
it,
`
is '
a
very
very
good land ;
and said
to
the whole
congregation
of Israel, “
The land we passed through
and
explored
is an
exceedingly
good land .
if Jehovah
hath
delighted
in us, then
He hath
brought
us in
unto
this land, and
hath
given
it
to
us,
a land which
is
flowing with milk and honey ;
If the
LORD
delights
in us, He will
bring
us into
this land, a land flowing with milk and honey ,
and
He
will
give
it
to
us.
only ,
against
Jehovah
rebel
not ye:
and
ye
, fear
not ye
the people of the land, for our
bread
they `are';
their defence
hath
turned
aside
from
off
them
, and Jehovah
`
is '
with us ;
fear
them
not
. '
Only do
not rebel
against
the
LORD
, and
do
not be
afraid
of
the people of the land, for they will
be
like
bread
for
us.
Their protection
has
been
removed
, and the
LORD
is with us. Do
not
be
afraid
of
them!”

all
the
sons
of
Israel
.

congregation
threatened
to stone Joshua
and Caleb.
Then
the glory
of the
LORD
appeared to
all
the Israelites
at
the
Tent of Meeting.
And Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `Until
when
doth
this people despise
Me? and
until
when
do
they not
believe in Me, for
all the signs which
I have done
in
its
midst
?
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses, “How
long
will
this people treat
Me with
contempt
? How
long
will
they refuse
to
believe in Me, despite
all the signs I have performed
among
them
?
I smite
it
with pestilence,
and dispossess
it,
and make thee
become
a nation greater and mightier than it
. '
I will
strike
them
with a
plague
and destroy
them—
and I
will
make you
into
a nation greater and mightier than they
are
. ”
And
Moses saith
unto
Jehovah
, `Then
have
the Egyptians heard!
for Thou
hast
brought up
with
Thy
power
this people out
of
their
midst,
But
Moses said
to
the
LORD
, “
The Egyptians will
hear
of
it,
for by
Your
strength
You
brought this people from
among
them.
and they have
said
`
it '
unto
the inhabitant
of this land ,
they have heard that Thou
, Jehovah
, `art'
in the midst of this people, that eye
to
eye
Thou
art
seen
--
O Jehovah
, and
Thy
cloud is
standing
over them, --
and in a pillar of cloud Thou
art
going
before
them
by day ,
and in
a pillar of fire by night.
And they will
tell
it to
the inhabitants
of this land .
They have already
heard that You
, O
LORD
, are
in the midst of this people, that You,
O LORD
, have
been
seen
face
to
face,
that
Your
cloud stands
over them, and that
You
go
before
them
in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
`And
Thou
hast
put
to
death
this people as one man, and
the nations who have heard Thy
fame have
spoken,
saying
,
If
You
kill
this people as one man, the nations who have heard of
Your
fame will
say
,
From
Jehovah's
want
of
ability
to bring in
this people unto
the land which
He hath
sworn
to them --
He doth
slaughter
them in the wilderness.
‘Because
the
LORD
was
unable
to bring this people into
the land He swore
to give
them ,
He has
slaughtered
them in the wilderness. ’
`And
now ,
let,
I pray Thee
, the power of my Lord be great
, as Thou
hast
spoken,
saying
:
So
now I pray, may
the power of my Lord be magnified
, just
as You
have
declared
:
Jehovah
`
is '
slow to anger ,
and of
great
kindness;
bearing
away
iniquity and transgression ,
and
not
entirely
acquitting,
charging
iniquity of fathers on
sons,
on
a
third `generation',
and on
a
fourth ;
--
‘The
LORD
is slow to anger and abounding
in
loving
devotion,
forgiving
iniquity and transgression .
Yet
He
will
by
no
means
leave
the
guilty
unpunished;
He
will
visit
the
iniquity of the
fathers upon
their
children
to
the
third and fourth generation.’
forgive
, I pray Thee
, the iniquity of this people, according
to
the greatness of Thy
kindness
, and
as Thou
hast
borne
with
this
people
from
Egypt ,
even
until
now
. '
Pardon
, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in
keeping
with
the greatness of Your
loving
devotion
, just
as You
have
forgiven
them
ever
since
they
left
Egypt. ”
And
Jehovah
saith,
`
I have forgiven
, according
to
thy
word;
“
I have pardoned
them
as
you
requested
, ”
the
LORD
replied.
and
yet ,
I live --
and it
is
filled
--
the whole earth --
`
with '
the honour
of Jehovah;
“
Yet as
surely
as
I live and as
surely
as
the whole earth is
filled
with the glory
of the
LORD,
for
all
the men who are
seeing
My honour,
and My
signs ,
which
I have
done
in Egypt ,
and in the wilderness ,
and try
Me these ten times ,
and
have
not
hearkened
to
My
voice
--
not
one
of
the men who have
seen
My glory
and the
signs I performed
in Egypt and in the wilderness —yet
have
tested
Me
and disobeyed
Me these ten times —
they
see
not the land which
I have
sworn
to their fathers ,
yea,
none of those despising
Me see it ;
not one
will
ever
see
the land that
I swore
to give
their fathers .
None of those who
have
treated
Me with
contempt
will
see it .
and
My servant Caleb ,
because
there
hath
been
another
spirit with
him,
and he
is
fully
after
Me --
I have
brought
him in
unto
the land whither
he hath
entered, and his seed
doth
possess
it.
But
because
My servant Caleb has
a
different
spirit and has
followed
Me wholeheartedly,
I will
bring
him into
the land he has
entered, and his descendants
will
inherit
it.
`And
the Amalekite
and the
Canaanite
are dwelling
in the valley;
to-morrow
turn ye
and journey
for yourselves
into
the wilderness --
the way
of
the Red Sea. '
Now
since
the Amalekites
and Canaanites
are living
in the valleys,
turn back
tomorrow
and head
for the wilderness along
the route
to
the Red Sea. ”
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses ,
and unto
Aaron, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses and Aaron,
`Until
when
hath
this evil
company
that
which
they
are
murmuring
against Me? the murmurings
of
the sons
of
Israel,
which
they
are murmuring
against Me ,
I
have
heard;
“How
long
will
this wicked
congregation
grumble
against Me? I
have
heard
the complaints
that
the Israelites
are making
against Me .
say
unto
them ,
I live --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
if
, as
ye
have
spoken
in
Mine
ears
--
so
I do not
to you ;
So
tell
them :
As
surely
as
I live, declares
the
LORD,
I will
do to you exactly
as
I
heard
you
say.
in this wilderness do
your
carcases
fall,
even
all your
numbered ones,
to
all
your
number
, from
a
son
of
twenty years and
upward,
who
have murmured
against Me ;
Your
bodies
will
fall
in this wilderness —
all who
were
numbered in
the
census
, everyone
twenty years of
age
or
older—because
you
have grumbled
against Me .
ye
--
ye
come
not
in
unto
the land which I have
lifted
up
My
hand
to cause
you to
tabernacle
in
it
, except Caleb son of Jephunneh ,
and Joshua son of Nun.
Surely
none
of
you
will
enter
the land in
which I swore
to settle
you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
`As
to
your infants
--
of
whom ye
have
said ,
A
spoil
they
are
become --
I
have
even
brought
them
in
, and
they
have
known
the land which
ye
have kicked
against;
But
I
will
bring
your children,
whom you
said would
become plunder
, into
the land you
have rejected—and
they
will
enjoy
it.
as to
you --
your carcases
do
fall in this wilderness ,
As for
you ,
however,
your bodies
will
fall in this wilderness .
and
your sons
are
evil
in the wilderness forty years, and have
borne
your whoredoms
till
your carcases
are
consumed
in the wilderness ;
Your children
will
be
shepherds
in the wilderness for
forty years, and they
will
suffer
for
your unfaithfulness
until
the
last
of
your bodies
lies
in the wilderness .
by
the
number
of
the days `in'
which
ye
spied the land, forty
days,
--
a
day
for
a
year,
a
day
for
a
year
--
ye
do
bear your iniquities,
forty years ,
and ye
have
known
my breaking
off;
In
keeping
with
the forty
days you
spied out
the land, you
shall
bear your guilt
forty years —a
year
for
each
day—
and you
will
experience
My alienation.
I `am'
Jehovah
, I
have spoken ;
if
I do not
this
to all
this evil
company
who
are
meeting
against me ;
--
in this
wilderness they
are
consumed
, and there they die. '
I, the
LORD,
have spoken ,
and
I will
surely
do these
things
to this entire
wicked
congregation,
which
has
conspired
against Me .
They
will
meet
their
end
in the
wilderness, and there they will
die. ”
And
the men whom
Moses hath
sent to spy the land, and
they
turn
back
and cause
all
the company
to
murmur
against him ,
by bringing out an
evil
account
concerning
the land ,
So
the men Moses had
sent to spy out
the land, who
had
returned
and made
the whole
congregation
grumble
against him by bringing out a
bad
report
about
the land —
even
the
men bringing
out an
evil
account
of
the land die
by the
plague before Jehovah;
those
men who
had
brought
out the bad
report
about
the
land —were
struck
down
by a
plague before the
LORD.
and
Joshua
son
of Nun,
and
Caleb
son
of
Jephunneh,
have
lived
of
those men who go
to spy out the land.
Of those men who had
gone
to spy out the land ,
only
Joshua
son
of
Nun
and
Caleb
son
of
Jephunneh
remained
alive
.
And Moses speaketh
these words unto
all the sons
of
Israel
, and
the people mourn
exceedingly,
And when
Moses relayed
these words to
all the Israelites
, the people mourned
bitterly.
and
they
rise
early in
the morning ,
and go
up unto
the top
of the mountain,
saying,
`Here
we `are'
, and
we have
come
up
unto
the place which
Jehovah
hath
spoken
of,
for
we
have
sinned
. '
Early the next
morning they
got
up
and went
up toward
the ridge
of the hill
country.
“
We have
indeed
sinned
, ”
they
said,
“but
we will
go
to
the place the
LORD
has
promised
. ”
And
Moses saith
, `
Why `is'
this?
--
ye
are transgressing the command
of Jehovah,
and
it
doth
not prosper;
But
Moses said
, “
Why are you
transgressing the commandment
of the
LORD?
This
will
not succeed!
go
not up, for
Jehovah
is
not
in
your midst
, and
ye
are
not smitten
before
your
enemies;
Do
not go
up, lest
you
be
struck
down
by
your enemies
, because
the
LORD
is
not among
you.
for the Amalekite
and the
Canaanite
`are'
there
before
you, and ye
have
fallen
by the sword ,
because that
ye
have turned back
from after
Jehovah
, and
Jehovah
is
not with you. '
For there
the Amalekites
and Canaanites
will
face
you, and you
will
fall
by the sword .
Because you
have turned away
from the
LORD
, He
will
not be
with you. ”
And
they presume
to go up unto
the top
of the mountain
, and
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
and
Moses
have
not
departed
out
of
the midst
of
the camp.
But
they dared
to go up to
the ridge
of the hill
country
, though
neither
Moses
nor
the ark of the covenant of the LORD
moved
from
the camp.
And
the Amalekite
and the
Canaanite
who are
dwelling
in that mountain
come
down and
smite
them, and beat
them down
--
unto
Hormah.
Then
the Amalekites
and Canaanites
who lived
in that part
of
the
hill
country
came
down ,
attacked
them, and routed
them all
the
way
to
Hormah.
