Numbers 14:40-44

40But the next morning, they got up early. They went up to the top of the hills near there. They said, ‘We have certainly done a bad thing. But now we are ready! We will go to the place that the Lord has promised to give to us.’

41But Moses said, ‘You are still not obeying the Lord's command. Why is that? It will not happen as you want.

42Do not go into that land. The Lord is not with you. So your enemies will win against you.

43The Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there in front of you. They will kill you with their swords. That will happen because you have refused to obey the Lord. So the Lord will not be with you to help you.’

44But the people did not listen to Moses. Moses and the Lord's Covenant Box stayed in the camp. But still the men went up to the top of the hills.
