Numbers 14:7-24

7and they spokeH559 to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “1The landH776 whichH834 we passedH5674 through to spyH8446 outH8446 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 is goneH5493 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.

1110And the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “HowH575 longH5704 will thisH2088 peopleH5971 beH5006 disrespectfulH5006 to Me? And howH575 longH5704 will 11they not 12believeH539 in Me, despite allH3605 the signsH226 that I have performedH6213 in their midstH7130? 12I will strikeH5221 them with 1314plagueH1698 and dispossessH3423 them, and I 15will makeH6213 you into a nationH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 they.”

1316But MosesH4872 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “Then the EgyptiansH4714 will hearH8085 of it, for by Your strengthH3581 You broughtH5927 thisH2088 peopleH5971 upH5927 from their midstH7130, 14and they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2088 landH776. They have heardH8085 that You, LordH3068, are in the midstH7130 of thisH2088 peopleH5971, becauseH834 17You, 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 putH4191 thisH2088 peopleH5971 toH4191 deathH4191 18allH376 at onceH259, 19then the nationsH1471 whoH834 have heardH8085 of Your fameH8088 will 20sayH559, 16‘SinceH4480 the LordH3068 21couldH3201 not bringH935 thisH2088 peopleH5971 into the landH776 whichH834 He promisedH7650 them byH7650 oathH7650, He slaughteredH7819 them in the wildernessH4057.’ 17So nowH6258, pleaseH4994, let the powerH3581 of the LordH136 beH1431 greatH1431, justH3512 asH3512 You have declaredH1696, sayingH559, 18‘22The LordH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639 and abundantH7227 in mercyH2617, forgivingH5375 wrongdoingH5771 and violationH6588 of His Law; but 23He will byH5352 noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 the guilty unpunishedH5352, 24inflictingH6485 the 25punishmentH5771 of the fathersH1 on the childrenH1121 26to the thirdH8029 and the fourthH7256 generations.’ 19PleaseH4994 27forgiveH5545 the guiltH5771 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 in accordance with the greatnessH1433 of Your mercyH2617, justH3512 asH3512 You also have forgivenH5375 thisH2088 peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even untilH5704 nowH2008.”

20So the LordH3068 saidH559, “28I have forgivenH5545 them in accordance with your wordH1697; 21howeverH199, 29as I liveH2416, 3031allH3605 the earthH776 will be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068. 22CertainlyH3588 32allH3605 the peopleH376 who have seenH7200 My gloryH3519 and My signsH226 whichH834 I performedH6213 in EgyptH4714 and in the wildernessH4057, yet 33have putH5254 Me toH5254 theH5254 testH5254 theseH2088 tenH6235 timesH6471 and have not listenedH8085 to My voiceH6963, 2334shall by noH518 meansH518 seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to their fathersH1, norH3808 shall anyH3605 of those who wereH5006 disrespectfulH5006 to Me seeH7200 it. 24But as for My servantH5650 CalebH3612, 35becauseH6118 he has hadH1961H5973 a differentH312 spiritH7307 and has followedH310 Me fullyH4390, 36I will bringH935 him into the landH776 whichH834 he 37enteredH935, and his 38descendantsH2233 shall takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it.
