Numbers 14:26-45
26The LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175, sayingH559, 27“HowH4970 longH5704H4970 shall I bear with thisH2088 evilH7451 congregationH5712 whoH834 are 1grumblingH3885 againstH5921 Me? I have heardH8085 the complaintsH8519 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 they are 2makingH3885 againstH5921 Me. 28SayH559 to them, ‘3As I liveH2416,’ saysH5002 the LordH3068, ‘justH3512 as 4you have spokenH1696 in My hearingH241, soH3651 I will surely doH6213 to you; 295your corpsesH6297 will fallH5307 in thisH2088 wildernessH4057, even allH3605 6your 7numberedH6485 men, according to your completeH3605 numberH4557 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, whoH834 have grumbledH3885 againstH5921 Me. 30SurelyH518 you shall not comeH935 into the landH776 in whichH834 I 8sworeH5375H3027 to settleH7931 you, 9exceptH3588H518 CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. 3110Your childrenH2945, however, whomH834 you saidH559 would becomeH1961 a preyH957--I will bringH935 them in, and they will knowH3045 the landH776 whichH834 you have rejectedH3988. 3211But as for you, your corpsesH6297 will fallH5307 in thisH2088 wildernessH4057. 33Your sonsH1121 shall be shepherdsH7462 for 12fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, and they will 13sufferH5375 for your 14unfaithfulnessH2184, untilH5704 your corpsesH6297 15lieH8552 in the wildernessH4057. 34According to the 16numberH4557 of daysH3117 whichH834 you spiedH8446 out the landH776, fortyH705 daysH3117, for everyH3117 dayH3117 you shall bearH5375 your 17guiltH5771 a yearH8141, even fortyH705 yearsH8141, and you will knowH3045 My oppositionH8569. 3518I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696, surelyH518H3808 thisH2088 I will doH6213 to allH3605 thisH2088 evilH7451 congregationH5712 who are gatheredH3259 together againstH5921 Me. In thisH2088 wildernessH4057 they shall be destroyedH8552, and thereH8033 they will dieH4191.’”
3619As for the menH376 whomH834 MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spyH8446 out the landH776 and who returnedH7725 and made allH3605 the congregationH5712 grumbleH3885 againstH5921 him by bringingH3318 out a badH1681 reportH1681 concerningH5921 the landH776, 37even 20those menH376 who broughtH3318 out the very badH1681H7451 reportH1681 of the landH776 diedH4191 by a 21plagueH4046 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 38But JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 remainedH2421 aliveH2421 out of thoseH1992 menH376 who wentH1980 to spyH8446 out the landH776.
39When MosesH4872 spokeH1696 22theseH428 wordsH1697 to allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 23the peopleH5971 mournedH56 greatlyH3966. 40In the morningH1242, however, they roseH7925 up earlyH7925 and wentH5927 up to the 24ridgeH7218 of the hillH2022 countryH2022, sayingH559, “25HereH2009 we are; 26we have indeedH3588 sinnedH2398, but we will goH5927 up to the placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 has promisedH559.” 41But MosesH4872 saidH559, “27WhyH4100 thenH2088 are you transgressingH5674 the 28commandmentH6310 of the LordH3068, when it will not succeedH6743? 4229Do not goH5927 up, orH3808 you will be struckH5062 downH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340, for the LordH3068 is not amongH7130 you. 43For the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 will be thereH8033 in frontH6440 of you, and you will fallH5307 by the swordH2719, inasmuchH3588H5921H3651 as you have turnedH7725 backH7725 from followingH310 the LordH3068. And the LordH3068 will not be with you.” 44But they wentH5927 up heedlesslyH6075 to the 30ridgeH7218 of the hillH2022 countryH2022; neitherH3808 31the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 norH3808 MosesH4872 leftH4185 the campH4264. 45Then the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 who livedH3427 in that hillH2022 countryH2022 cameH3381 downH3381, and struckH5221 them and beatH3807 them downH3807 as farH5704 as 32HormahH2767.
