Numbers 14:7-24

7And they spoke to the whole assemblyH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The landH776, which we passedH5674 through to search it out, is a veryH3966, veryH3966 goodH2896 landH776.

8If Jehovah delightH2654 in us, he will bringH935 us into this landH776, and giveH5414 it us, a landH776 that flowsH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706;

9onlyH389 rebelH4775 not against Jehovah; and fearH3372 not the peopleH5971 of the landH776; for they shall be our foodH3899. Their defence is departedH5493 from them, and Jehovah is with us: fearH3372 them not.

10And the whole assemblyH5712 saidH559 that they should be stonedH7275 with stonesH68. And the gloryH3519 of Jehovah appearedH7200 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 to all the children of IsraelH3478.

11And Jehovah saidH559 to MosesH4872, How long will this peopleH5971 despise me? and how long will they not believeH539 me, for all the signsH226 which I have done among them?

12I will smite them with the pestilenceH1698, and destroy them, and will makeH6213 of thee a nationH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 than they.

13And MosesH4872 saidH559 to Jehovah, Then the EgyptiansH4713 will hearH8085 it; for in thy might thou broughtest up this peopleH5971 from the midstH7130 of them;

14and they will tell it to the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776, [who] have heardH8085 that thou, Jehovah, art in the midstH7130 of this peopleH5971, that thou, Jehovah, lettest thyself be seenH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, and that thy cloudH6051 standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915;

15if thou now slayest this peopleH5971 as oneH259 manH376, then the nationsH1471 that have heardH8085 thy fame will speak, sayingH559,

16Because Jehovah was not ableH3201 to bringH935 this peopleH5971 into the landH776 that he had swornH7650 unto them, he has therefore slain them in the wildernessH4057.

17And nowH6258, I beseech thee, let the powerH3581 of the LordH136 be greatH1431, according as thou hast spokenH1696, sayingH559,

18Jehovah is slow to angerH639, and abundant in goodness, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588, but by no means clearing [the guilty], visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the children, upon the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 [generationH8029].

19Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according to the greatnessH1433 of thy loving-kindness, and as thou hast forgivenH5545 this peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even until now.

20And Jehovah saidH559, I have pardoned according to thy wordH1697.

21But as surely as I live, all the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of Jehovah!

22for all those menH376 who have seenH7200 my gloryH3519, and my signsH226, which I did in EgyptH4714 and in the wildernessH4057, and have tempted me these tenH6235 timesH6471, and have not hearkened to my voiceH6963,

23shall in no wise seeH7200 the landH776 which I did swearH7650 unto their fathersH1: none of them that despised me shall seeH7200 it.

24But my servantH5650 CalebH3612, because he hath another spiritH7307 in him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bringH935 into the landH776 whereinto he cameH935; and his seedH2233 shall possessH3423 it.
