1 And all the congregation * h5712 lifted up * h5375 h8799 their voice * h6963, and cried * h5414 h8799; and the people * h5971 wept * h1058 h8799 that night * h3915.
2 And all the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 murmured * h3885 h8735 against Moses * h4872 and against Aaron * h175: and the whole congregation * h5712 said * h559 h8799 unto them, Would God * h3863 that we had died * h4191 h8804 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714! or would God * h3863 we had died * h4191 h8804 in this wilderness * h4057!
3 And wherefore hath the LORD * h3068 brought * h935 h8688 us unto this land * h776, to fall * h5307 h8800 by the sword * h2719, that our wives * h802 and our children * h2945 should be a prey * h957? were it not better * h2896 for us to return * h7725 h8800 into Egypt * h4714?
4 And they said * h559 h8799 one * h376 to another * h251, Let us make * h5414 h8799 a captain * h7218, and let us return * h7725 h8799 into Egypt * h4714.
5 Then Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 fell * h5307 h8799 on their faces * h6440 before * h6440 all the assembly * h6951 of the congregation * h5712 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478.
6 And Joshua * h3091 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126, and Caleb * h3612 the son * h1121 of Jephunneh * h3312, which were of them that searched * h8446 h8802 the land * h776, rent * h7167 h8804 their clothes * h899:
7 And they spake * h559 h8799 unto all the company * h5712 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, saying * h559 h8800, The land * h776, which we passed * h5674 h8804 through to search * h8446 h8800 it, is an exceeding * h3966 * h3966 good * h2896 land * h776.
8 If the LORD * h3068 delight * h2654 h8804 in us, then he will bring * h935 h8689 us into this land * h776, and give * h5414 h8804 it us; a land * h776 which floweth * h2100 h8802 with milk * h2461 and honey * h1706.
9 Only rebel * h4775 h8799 not ye against the LORD * h3068, neither fear * h3372 h8799 ye the people * h5971 of the land * h776; for they are bread * h3899 for us: their defence * h6738 is departed * h5493 h8804 from them, and the LORD * h3068 is with us: fear * h3372 h8799 them not. defence: Heb. shadow
10 But all the congregation * h5712 bade * h559 h8799 stone * h7275 h8800 them with stones * h68. And the glory * h3519 of the LORD * h3068 appeared * h7200 h8738 in the tabernacle * h168 of the congregation * h4150 before all the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478.
11 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, How long will this people * h5971 provoke * h5006 h8762 me? and how long will it be ere * h3808 they believe * h539 h8686 me, for all the signs * h226 which I have shewed * h6213 h8804 among * h7130 them?
12 I will smite * h5221 h8686 them with the pestilence * h1698, and disinherit * h3423 h8686 them, and will make * h6213 h8799 of thee a greater * h1419 nation * h1471 and mightier * h6099 than they.
13 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799 unto the LORD * h3068, Then the Egyptians * h4714 shall hear * h8085 h8804 it , (for thou broughtest up * h5927 h8689 this people * h5971 in thy might * h3581 from among * h7130 them;)
14 And they will tell * h559 h8804 it to the inhabitants * h3427 h8802 of this land * h776: for they have heard * h8085 h8804 that thou LORD * h3068 art among * h7130 this people * h5971, that thou LORD * h3068 art seen * h7200 h8738 face * h5869 to face * h5869, and that thy cloud * h6051 standeth * h5975 h8802 over them, and that thou goest * h1980 h8802 before * h6440 them, by day time * h3119 in a pillar * h5982 of a cloud * h6051, and in a pillar * h5982 of fire * h784 by night * h3915.
15 Now if thou shalt kill * h4191 h8689 all this people * h5971 as one * h259 man * h376, then the nations * h1471 which have heard * h8085 h8804 the fame * h8088 of thee will speak * h559 h8804, saying * h559 h8800,
16 Because the LORD * h3068 was not * h1115 able * h3201 h8800 to bring * h935 h8687 this people * h5971 into the land * h776 which he sware * h7650 h8738 unto them, therefore he hath slain * h7819 h8799 them in the wilderness * h4057.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power * h3581 of my Lord * h136 be great * h1431 h8799, according * h834 as thou hast spoken * h1696 h8765, saying * h559 h8800,
18 The LORD * h3068 is longsuffering * h750 * h639, and of great * h7227 mercy * h2617, forgiving * h5375 h8802 iniquity * h5771 and transgression * h6588, and by no means * h5352 h8763 clearing * h5352 h8762 the guilty , visiting * h6485 h8802 the iniquity * h5771 of the fathers * h1 upon the children * h1121 unto the third * h8029 and fourth * h7256 generation .
19 Pardon * h5545 h8798, I beseech thee, the iniquity * h5771 of this people * h5971 according unto the greatness * h1433 of thy mercy * h2617, and as thou hast forgiven * h5375 h8804 this people * h5971, from Egypt * h4714 even until now * h2008. until...: or, hitherto
20 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799, I have pardoned * h5545 h8804 according to thy word * h1697:
21 But as truly * h199 as I live * h2416, all the earth * h776 shall be filled * h4390 h8735 with the glory * h3519 of the LORD * h3068.
22 Because all those men * h582 which have seen * h7200 h8802 my glory * h3519, and my miracles * h226, which I did * h6213 h8804 in Egypt * h4714 and in the wilderness * h4057, and have tempted * h5254 h8762 * h853 me now these ten * h6235 times * h6471, and have not hearkened * h8085 h8804 to my voice * h6963;
23 Surely they shall not * h518 see * h7200 h8799 the land * h776 which I sware * h7650 h8738 unto their fathers * h1, neither shall any of them that provoked * h5006 h8764 me see * h7200 h8799 it: Surely...: Heb. If they see the land
24 But my servant * h5650 Caleb * h3612, because * h6118 he had another * h312 spirit * h7307 with him, and hath followed * h310 me fully * h4390 h8762, him will I bring * h935 h8689 into the land * h776 whereinto he went * h935 h8804; and his seed * h2233 shall possess * h3423 h8686 it.
25 (Now the Amalekites * h6003 and the Canaanites * h3669 dwelt * h3427 h8802 in the valley * h6010.) To morrow * h4279 turn * h6437 h8798 you, and get * h5265 h8798 you into the wilderness * h4057 by the way * h1870 of the Red * h5488 sea * h3220.
26 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h1696 h8762 unto Moses * h4872 and unto Aaron * h175, saying * h559 h8800,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil * h7451 congregation * h5712, which murmur * h3885 h8688 against me? I have heard * h8085 h8804 the murmurings * h8519 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, which they murmur * h3885 h8688 against me.
28 Say * h559 h8798 unto them, As truly as * h3808 I live * h2416, saith * h5002 h8803 the LORD * h3068, as ye have spoken * h1696 h8765 in mine ears * h241, so will I do * h6213 h8799 to you:
29 Your carcases * h6297 shall fall * h5307 h8799 in this wilderness * h4057; and all that were numbered * h6485 h8803 of you, according to your whole number * h4557, from twenty * h6242 years * h8141 old * h1121 and upward * h4605, which have murmured * h3885 h8689 against me,
30 Doubtless ye shall not * h518 come * h935 h8799 into the land * h776, concerning which I sware * h3027 * h5375 h8804 to make you dwell * h7931 h8763 therein, save Caleb * h3612 the son * h1121 of Jephunneh * h3312, and Joshua * h3091 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126. sware: Heb. lifted up my hand
31 But your little ones * h2945, which ye said * h559 h8804 should be a prey * h957, them will I bring in * h935 h8689, and they shall know * h3045 h8804 the land * h776 which ye have despised * h3988 h8804.
32 But as for you, your carcases * h6297, they shall fall * h5307 h8799 in this wilderness * h4057.
33 And your children * h1121 shall wander * h7462 h8802 in the wilderness * h4057 forty * h705 years * h8141, and bear * h5375 h8804 your whoredoms * h2184, until your carcases * h6297 be wasted * h8552 h8800 in the wilderness * h4057. wander: or, feed
34 After the number * h4557 of the days * h3117 in which ye searched * h8446 h8804 the land * h776, even forty * h705 days * h3117, each day * h3117 for a year * h8141 * h3117 * h8141, shall ye bear * h5375 h8799 your iniquities * h5771, even forty * h705 years * h8141, and ye shall know * h3045 h8804 my breach of promise * h8569. breach...: or, altering of my purpose
35 I the LORD * h3068 have said * h1696 h8765, I will surely * h518 * h3808 do * h6213 h8799 it * h2063 unto all this evil * h7451 congregation * h5712, that are gathered together * h3259 h8737 against me: in this wilderness * h4057 they shall be consumed * h8552 h8735, and there they shall die * h4191 h8799.
36 And the men * h582, which Moses * h4872 sent * h7971 h8804 to search * h8446 h8800 the land * h776, who returned * h7725 h8799, and made all the congregation * h5712 to murmur * h3885 h8686 h8675 * h3885 h8735 against him, by bringing up * h3318 h8687 a slander * h1681 upon the land * h776,
37 Even those * h582 men * h582 that did bring up * h3318 h8688 the evil * h7451 report * h1681 upon the land * h776, died * h4191 h8799 by the plague * h4046 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068.
38 But Joshua * h3091 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126, and Caleb * h3612 the son * h1121 of Jephunneh * h3312, which were of the men * h1992 * h582 that went * h1980 h8802 to search * h8446 h8800 the land * h776, lived * h2421 h8804 still .
39 And Moses * h4872 told * h1696 h8762 these sayings * h1697 unto all the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478: and the people * h5971 mourned * h56 h8691 greatly * h3966.
40 And they rose up early * h7925 h8686 in the morning * h1242, and gat them up * h5927 h8799 into the top * h7218 of the mountain * h2022, saying * h559 h8800, lo * h2009, we be here , and will go up * h5927 h8804 unto the place * h4725 which the LORD * h3068 hath promised * h559 h8804: for we have sinned * h2398 h8804.
41 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799, Wherefore now do ye transgress * h5674 h8802 the commandment * h6310 of the LORD * h3068? but it shall not prosper * h6743 h8799.
42 Go not up * h5927 h8799, for the LORD * h3068 is not among * h7130 you; that ye be not smitten * h5062 h8735 before * h6440 your enemies * h341 h8802.
43 For the Amalekites * h6003 and the Canaanites * h3669 are there before * h6440 you, and ye shall fall * h5307 h8804 by the sword * h2719: because ye are turned * h7725 h8804 away * h310 from the LORD * h3068, therefore the LORD * h3068 will not be with you.
44 But they presumed * h6075 h8686 to go up * h5927 h8800 unto the hill * h2022 top * h7218: nevertheless the ark * h727 of the covenant * h1285 of the LORD * h3068, and Moses * h4872, departed * h4185 h8804 not out * h7130 of the camp * h4264.
45 Then the Amalekites * h6003 came down * h3381 h8799, and the Canaanites * h3669 which dwelt * h3427 h8802 in that hill * h2022, and smote * h5221 h8686 them, and discomfited * h3807 h8686 them, even unto Hormah * h2767.
