1 And all the congregation 5712 lifted up 5375 their voice 6963, and cried 5414; and the people 5971 wept 1058 that night 3915.
2 And all the children 1121 of Israel 3478 murmured 3885 against Moses 4872 and against Aaron 175: and the whole congregation 5712 said 559 unto them, Would God 3863 that we had died 4191 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714! or would God 3863 we had died 4191 in this wilderness 4057!
3 And wherefore hath the LORD 3068 brought 935 us unto this land 776, to fall 5307 by the sword 2719, that our wives 802 and our children 2945 should be a prey 957? were it not better 2896 for us to return 7725 into Egypt 4714?
4 And they said 559 one 376 to another 251, Let us make 5414 a captain 7218, and let us return 7725 into Egypt 4714.
5 Then Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 fell 5307 on their faces 6440 before 6440 all the assembly 6951 of the congregation 5712 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
6 And Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312, which were of them that searched 8446 the land 776, rent 7167 their clothes 899:
7 And they spake 559 unto all the company 5712 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, The land 776, which we passed 5674 through to search 8446 it, is an exceeding 3966 3966 good 2896 land 776.
8 If the LORD 3068 delight 2654 in us, then he will bring 935 us into this land 776, and give 5414 it us; a land 776 which floweth 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.
9 Only rebel 4775 not ye against the LORD 3068, neither fear 3372 ye the people 5971 of the land 776; for they are bread 3899 for us: their defence 6738 is departed 5493 from them, and the LORD 3068 is with us: fear 3372 them not.
10 But all the congregation 5712 bade 559 stone 7275 them with stones 68. And the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 in the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150 before all the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
11 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, How long will this people 5971 provoke 5006 me? and how long will it be ere 3808 they believe 539 me, for all the signs 226 which I have shewed 6213 among 7130 them?
12 I will smite 5221 them with the pestilence 1698, and disinherit 3423 them, and will make 6213 of thee a greater 1419 nation 1471 and mightier 6099 than they.
13 And Moses 4872 said 559 unto the LORD 3068, Then the Egyptians 4714 shall hear 8085 it, (for thou broughtest up 5927 this people 5971 in thy might 3581 from among 7130 them;)
14 And they will tell 559 it to the inhabitants 3427 of this land 776: for they have heard 8085 that thou LORD 3068 art among 7130 this people 5971, that thou LORD 3068 art seen 7200 face 5869 to face 5869, and that thy cloud 6051 standeth 5975 over them, and that thou goest 1980 before 6440 them, by day time 3119 in a pillar 5982 of a cloud 6051, and in a pillar 5982 of fire 784 by night 3915.
15 Now if thou shalt kill 4191 all this people 5971 as one 259 man 376, then the nations 1471 which have heard 8085 the fame 8088 of thee will speak 559, saying 559,
16 Because the LORD 3068 was not 1115 able 3201 to bring 935 this people 5971 into the land 776 which he sware 7650 unto them, therefore he hath slain 7819 them in the wilderness 4057.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power 3581 of my Lord 136 be great 1431, according 834 as thou hast spoken 1696, saying 559,
18 The LORD 3068 is longsuffering 750 639, and of great 7227 mercy 2617, forgiving 5375 iniquity 5771 and transgression 6588, and by no means 5352 clearing 5352 the guilty, visiting 6485 the iniquity 5771 of the fathers 1 upon the children 1121 unto the third 8029 and fourth 7256 generation.
19 Pardon 5545, I beseech thee, the iniquity 5771 of this people 5971 according unto the greatness 1433 of thy mercy 2617, and as thou hast forgiven 5375 this people 5971, from Egypt 4714 even until now 2008.
20 And the LORD 3068 said 559, I have pardoned 5545 according to thy word 1697:
21 But as truly 199 as I live 2416, all the earth 776 shall be filled 4390 with the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068.
22 Because all those men 582 which have seen 7200 my glory 3519, and my miracles 226, which I did 6213 in Egypt 4714 and in the wilderness 4057, and have tempted 5254 853 me now these ten 6235 times 6471, and have not hearkened 8085 to my voice 6963;
23 Surely they shall not 518 see 7200 the land 776 which I sware 7650 unto their fathers 1, neither shall any of them that provoked 5006 me see 7200 it:
24 But my servant 5650 Caleb 3612, because 6118 he had another 312 spirit 7307 with him, and hath followed 310 me fully 4390, him will I bring 935 into the land 776 whereinto he went 935; and his seed 2233 shall possess 3423 it.
25 (Now the Amalekites 6003 and the Canaanites 3669 dwelt 3427 in the valley 6010.) To morrow 4279 turn 6437 you, and get 5265 you into the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 of the Red 5488 sea 3220.
26 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto Moses 4872 and unto Aaron 175, saying 559,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil 7451 congregation 5712, which murmur 3885 against me? I have heard 8085 the murmurings 8519 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, which they murmur 3885 against me.
28 Say 559 unto them, As truly as 3808 I live 2416, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, as ye have spoken 1696 in mine ears 241, so will I do 6213 to you:
29 Your carcases 6297 shall fall 5307 in this wilderness 4057; and all that were numbered 6485 of you, according to your whole number 4557, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, which have murmured 3885 against me,
30 Doubtless ye shall not 518 come 935 into the land 776, concerning which I sware 3027 5375 to make you dwell 7931 therein, save Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312, and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.
31 But your little ones 2945, which ye said 559 should be a prey 957, them will I bring in 935, and they shall know 3045 the land 776 which ye have despised 3988.
32 But as for you, your carcases 6297, they shall fall 5307 in this wilderness 4057.
33 And your children 1121 shall wander 7462 in the wilderness 4057 forty 705 years 8141, and bear 5375 your whoredoms 2184, until your carcases 6297 be wasted 8552 in the wilderness 4057.
34 After the number 4557 of the days 3117 in which ye searched 8446 the land 776, even forty 705 days 3117, each day 3117 for a year 8141 3117 8141, shall ye bear 5375 your iniquities 5771, even forty 705 years 8141, and ye shall know 3045 my breach of promise 8569.
35 I the LORD 3068 have said 1696, I will surely 518 3808 do 6213 it 2063 unto all this evil 7451 congregation 5712, that are gathered together 3259 against me: in this wilderness 4057 they shall be consumed 8552, and there they shall die 4191.
36 And the men 582, which Moses 4872 sent 7971 to search 8446 the land 776, who returned 7725, and made all the congregation 5712 to murmur 3885 3885 against him, by bringing up 3318 a slander 1681 upon the land 776,
37 Even those 582 men 582 that did bring up 3318 the evil 7451 report 1681 upon the land 776, died 4191 by the plague 4046 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
38 But Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312, which were of the men 1992 582 that went 1980 to search 8446 the land 776, lived 2421 still.
39 And Moses 4872 told 1696 these sayings 1697 unto all the children 1121 of Israel 3478: and the people 5971 mourned 56 greatly 3966.
40 And they rose up early 7925 in the morning 1242, and gat them up 5927 into the top 7218 of the mountain 2022, saying 559, Lo 2009, we be here, and will go up 5927 unto the place 4725 which the LORD 3068 hath promised 559: for we have sinned 2398.
41 And Moses 4872 said 559, Wherefore now do ye transgress 5674 the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068? but it shall not prosper 6743.
42 Go not up 5927, for the LORD 3068 is not among 7130 you; that ye be not smitten 5062 before 6440 your enemies 341.
43 For the Amalekites 6003 and the Canaanites 3669 are there before 6440 you, and ye shall fall 5307 by the sword 2719: because ye are turned 7725 away 310 from the LORD 3068, therefore the LORD 3068 will not be with you.
44 But they presumed 6075 to go up 5927 unto the hill 2022 top 7218: nevertheless the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, and Moses 4872, departed 4185 not out 7130 of the camp 4264.
45 Then the Amalekites 6003 came down 3381, and the Canaanites 3669 which dwelt 3427 in that hill 2022, and smote 5221 them, and discomfited 3807 them, even unto Hormah 2767.
