Numbers 14:11-25

11And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, How long will this peopleH5971 provokeH5006 me? and how long will it be ereH3808 they believeH539 me, for all the signsH226 which I have shewedH6213 amongH7130 them? 12I will smiteH5221 them with the pestilenceH1698, and disinheritH3423 them, and will makeH6213 of thee a greaterH1419 nationH1471 and mightierH6099 than they.

13And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto YhwhH3068, Then the EgyptiansH4714 shall hearH8085 it, (for thou broughtest upH5927 this peopleH5971 in thy mightH3581 from amongH7130 them;) 14And they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776: for they have heardH8085 that thou YhwhH3068 art amongH7130 this peopleH5971, that thou YhwhH3068 art seenH7200 faceH5869 to faceH5869, and that thy cloudH6051 standethH5975 over them, and that thou goestH1980 beforeH6440 them, by day timeH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915.

15Now if thou shalt killH4191 all this peopleH5971 as oneH259 manH376, then the nationsH1471 which have heardH8085 the fameH8088 of thee will speakH559, sayingH559, 16Because YhwhH3068 was notH1115 ableH3201 to bringH935 this peopleH5971 into the landH776 which he swareH7650 unto them, therefore he hath slainH7819 them in the wildernessH4057. 17And now, I beseech thee, let the powerH3581 of my LordH136 be greatH1431, accordingH834 as thou hast spokenH1696, sayingH559, 18YhwhH3068 is longsufferingH639H750, and of greatH7227 mercyH2617, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588, and by no meansH5352 clearingH5352 the guilty, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation. 19PardonH5545, I beseech thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according unto the greatnessH1433 of thy mercyH2617, and as thou hast forgivenH5375 this peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even until nowH2008.1 20And YhwhH3068 saidH559, I have pardonedH5545 according to thy wordH1697: 21But as trulyH199 as I liveH2416, all the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of YhwhH3068. 22Because all those menH582 which have seenH7200 my gloryH3519, and my miraclesH226, which I didH6213 in EgyptH4714 and in the wildernessH4057, and have temptedH853H5254 me now these tenH6235 timesH6471, and have not hearkenedH8085 to my voiceH6963; 23Surely they shall notH518 seeH7200 the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1, neither shall any of them that provokedH5006 me seeH7200 it:2 24But my servantH5650 CalebH3612, becauseH6118 he had anotherH312 spiritH7307 with him, and hath followedH310 me fullyH4390, him will I bringH935 into the landH776 whereinto he wentH935; and his seedH2233 shall possessH3423 it. 25(Now the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427 in the valleyH6010.) To morrowH4279 turnH6437 you, and getH5265 you into the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 of the RedH5488 seaH3220.
