Numbers 14:7-24

7and they spokeH559 to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “1The landH776 whichH834 we passedH5674 throughH5674 to spyH8446 out is an exceedinglyH3966 goodH2896 landH776. 82IfH518 the LordH3068 is pleasedH2654 with us, then He will bringH935 us into thisH2088 landH776 and giveH5414 it to us--3a landH776 whichH834 flowsH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 9OnlyH389 4do not rebelH4775 against the LordH3068; and do not 5fearH3372 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, for they will be our 6preyH3899. Their 7protectionH6738 has been removedH5493 from them, and the LordH3068 is with us; do not fearH3372 them.” 108But allH3605 the congregationH5712 saidH559 to stoneH7275 them with stonesH68. Then 9the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 to allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.

1110The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “HowH575 longH5704 will thisH2088 peopleH5971 spurnH5006 Me? And howH575 longH5704 will 11they not believeH539 in Me, despite allH3605 the signsH226 whichH834 I have performedH6213 in their midstH7130? 12I will smiteH5221 them with 1213pestilenceH1698 and dispossessH3423 them, and I 14will makeH6213 you into a nationH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 they.”

1315But MosesH4872 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “Then the EgyptiansH4714 will hearH8085 of it, for by Your strengthH3581 You broughtH5927 up thisH2088 peopleH5971 from their midstH7130, 14and they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2088 landH776. They have heardH8085 that You, O LordH3068, are in the midstH7130 of thisH2088 peopleH5971, for 16You, O LordH3068, are seenH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, while Your cloudH6051 standsH5975 overH5921 them; and You goH1980 beforeH6440 them in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119 and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915. 15Now if You slayH5221 thisH2088 peopleH5971 as oneH259 manH376, 17then the nationsH1471 whoH834 have heardH8085 of Your fameH8088 will 18sayH559, 16‘BecauseH4480 the LordH3068 19couldH3201 not bringH935 thisH2088 peopleH5971 into the landH776 whichH834 He promisedH7650 them by oathH7650, therefore He slaughteredH7819 them in the wildernessH4057.’ 17But nowH6258, I prayH4994, let the powerH3581 of the LordH136 be greatH1431, justH3512 as You have 20declaredH1696H559, 18‘21The LordH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639 and abundantH7227 in lovingkindnessH2617, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588; but 22He will by noH3808 meansH5352 clearH5352 the guilty, 23visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 on the childrenH1121 24to the thirdH8029 and the fourthH7256 generations.’ 1925PardonH5545, I prayH4994, the iniquityH5771 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 according to the greatnessH1433 of Your lovingkindnessH2617, justH3512 as You also have forgivenH5375 thisH2088 peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even untilH5704 nowH2008.”

20So the LordH3068 saidH559, “26I have pardonedH5545 them according to your wordH1697; 21but indeedH199, 27as I liveH2416, 2829allH3605 the earthH776 will be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068. 22SurelyH3588 30allH3605 the menH376 who have seenH7200 My gloryH3519 and My signsH226 whichH834 I performedH6213 in EgyptH4714 and in the wildernessH4057, yet 31have putH5254 Me to the testH5254 theseH2088 tenH6235 timesH6471 and have not listenedH8085 to My voiceH6963, 2332shall by noH518 meansH518 seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to their fathersH1, norH3808 shall anyH3605 of those who spurnedH5006 Me seeH7200 it. 24But My servantH5650 CalebH3612, 33becauseH6118 he hasH5973 hadH1961 a differentH312 spiritH7307 and has followedH310 Me fullyH4390, 3435I will bringH935 into the landH776 36whichH834 he enteredH935, and his 37descendantsH2233 shall takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it.
