Revised Version 1895

1And allH3605 the congregationH5712 liftedH5375 upH5375 their voiceH6963, and criedH5414; and the peopleH5971 weptH1058 that nightH3915. 2And allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872 and againstH5921 AaronH175: and the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 saidH559 unto them, Would GodH559 that weH3605 had diedH4191 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714! or would GodH559 weH3605 had diedH4191 in this wildernessH4057! 3And wherefore doth the LORDH3068 bringH935 usH413 unto this landH776, to fallH5307 by the swordH2719? Our wivesH802 and our littleH2945 onesH2945 shall be a preyH957: were it notH3808 betterH2896 for usH413 to returnH7725 intoH413 EgyptH4714? 4And they saidH559 one to anotherH251, LetH5414 usH5414 makeH5414 a captain, and letH5414 usH5414 returnH7725 intoH413 EgyptH4714. 5Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 fellH5307 on their facesH6440 beforeH6440 allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 6And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312, which were of them that spiedH8446 outH4480 the landH776, rent their clothesH899: 7and they spake unto allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The landH776, whichH834 weH834 passedH5674 throughH5674 to spyH8446 it outH413, is an exceedingH3966 goodH2896 landH776. 8IfH518 the LORDH3068 delightH2654 in usH5414, then he will bringH935 usH5414 intoH413 this landH776, and giveH5414 it unto usH5414; a landH776 whichH834 floweth with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 9OnlyH389 rebelH4775 notH408 againstH5921 the LORDH3068, neitherH408 fearH3372 ye the peopleH5971 of the landH776; for they are breadH3899 for usH5921: their defence is removedH5493 from over them, and the LORDH3068 is with usH5921: fearH3372 them notH408. 10But allH3605 the congregationH5712 bade stoneH68 them with stonesH68. And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 unto allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 11And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, HowH834 longH5704 will this peopleH5971 despiseH5006 meH413? and howH834 longH5704 will they notH3808 believeH539 in meH413, for allH3605 the signsH226 whichH834 I have wrought among them? 12I will smiteH5221 them with the pestilenceH1698, and disinherit them, and will makeH6213 of thee a nationH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 they. 13And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Then the EgyptiansH4713 shall hearH8085 it; for thou broughtest upH5927 this peopleH5971 in thy might from among them; 14and they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776: they have heardH8085 that thou LORDH3068 art in the midstH7130 of this peopleH5971; for thou LORDH3068 art seenH7200 faceH6440 to faceH6440, and thy cloudH6051 standeth over them, and thou goest beforeH6440 them, in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915. 15NowH2088 ifH834 thou shalt killH4191 this peopleH5971 as one manH376, then the nationsH1471 whichH834 have heardH8085 the fameH8088 of thee will speakH559, sayingH559, 16BecauseH834 the LORDH3068 was notH3201 ableH3201 to bringH935 this peopleH5971 intoH413 the landH776 whichH834 he sware unto them, therefore he hath slainH7819 them in the wildernessH4057. 17And nowH6258, I prayH4994 thee, letH4994 the powerH3581 of the LordH136 be greatH1431, according as thou hast spokenH1696, sayingH559, 18The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and plenteous in mercyH3068, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588, and that will by noH3808 meansH5352 clearH5352 the guiltyH5771; visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 uponH5921 the childrenH1121, uponH5921 the thirdH8029 and uponH5921 the fourthH7256 generationH8029. 19PardonH5545, I prayH4994 thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according unto the greatnessH1433 of thy mercy, and according as thou hast forgivenH5545 this peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 evenH5704 untilH5704 nowH4994. 20And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have pardonedH5545 according to thy wordH1697: 21but in very deed, as I liveH2416, and as allH3605 the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068; 22becauseH3588 allH3605 thoseH3605 menH376 whichH834 have seenH7200 my gloryH3519, and my signsH226, whichH834 I wrought in EgyptH4714 and in the wildernessH4057, yet have temptedH5254 meH6963 theseH2088 tenH6235 timesH6471, and have notH3808 hearkened to my voiceH6963; 23surelyH518 they shall notH3808 seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 I sware unto their fathersH1, neitherH3808 shall anyH3605 of them that despisedH5006 meH7200 seeH7200 it: 24but my servantH5650 CalebH3612, becauseH834 he had anotherH312 spiritH7307 with him, and hath followedH310 meH413 fullyH4390, him will I bringH935 intoH413 the landH776 whereinto he wentH935; and his seedH2233 shall possessH3423 it. 25Now the AmalekiteH6003 and the CanaaniteH3669 dwellH3427 in the valleyH6010: tomorrowH4279 turnH6437 ye, and get youH1870 intoH3220 the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 to the Red SeaH3220. 26And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559, 27HowH834 longH5704 shall I bear with this evilH7451 congregationH5712, whichH834 murmurH3885 againstH5921 meH5921? I have heardH8085 the murmurings of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 they murmurH3885 againstH5921 meH5921. 28SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saith the LORDH3068, surelyH518 as ye have spokenH1696 in mine earsH241, soH3651 will I doH6213 to youH834: 29your carcases shall fallH5307 in this wildernessH4057; and allH3605 that were numberedH6485 of youH834, accordingH5921 to your wholeH3605 numberH4557, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, whichH834 have murmuredH3885 againstH5921 meH5921, 30surelyH3588 ye shall notH518 comeH935 intoH413 the landH776, concerning whichH834 I liftedH5375 upH5375 my handH3027 that I would makeH5375 youH859 dwellH7931 therein, save CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. 31But your littleH2945 onesH2945, whichH834 ye saidH559 should be a preyH957, them will I bringH935 in, and they shall knowH3045 the landH776 whichH834 ye have rejectedH3988. 32But as for youH859, your carcases shall fallH5307 in this wildernessH4057. 33And your childrenH1121 shall be wanderers in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, and shall bearH5375 your whoredoms, untilH5704 your carcases be consumedH8552 in the wildernessH4057. 34AfterH3117 the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 in whichH834 ye spiedH8446 outH3045 the landH776, evenH853 fortyH705 daysH3117, for everyH3117 dayH3117 a yearH8141, shall ye bearH5375 your iniquitiesH5771, evenH853 fortyH705 yearsH8141, and ye shall knowH3045 my alienation. 35I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696, surelyH4191 this will I doH6213 unto allH3605 this evilH7451 congregationH5712, that are gatheredH3259 togetherH3259 againstH5921 meH5921: in this wildernessH4057 they shall be consumedH8552, and there they shall dieH4191. 36And the menH376, whichH834 MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spyH8446 outH3318 the landH776, who returnedH7725, and madeH7725 allH3605 the congregationH5712 to murmurH3885 againstH5921 him, by bringingH3318 upH5921 an evilH1681 reportH1681 againstH5921 the landH776, 37evenH776 thoseH376 menH376 that didH376 bringH3318 up an evilH7451 reportH1681 of the landH776, diedH4191 by the plagueH4046 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 38But JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312, remained aliveH2421 of thoseH376 menH376 that wentH1980 to spyH8446 outH4480 the landH776. 39And MosesH4872 toldH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 unto allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the peopleH5971 mournedH56 greatlyH3966. 40And they roseH7925 upH5927 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and gat them upH5927 to the topH7218 of the mountainH2022, sayingH559, LoH2005, weH3588 be hereH4725, and will goH5927 upH5927 unto the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath promisedH559: for weH3588 have sinnedH2398. 41And MosesH4872 saidH559, Wherefore nowH2088 doH4100 ye transgressH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, seeing it shall notH3808 prosperH6743? 42GoH5927 notH3808 upH5927, for the LORDH3068 is notH3808 among youH3588; that ye be notH3808 smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341. 43For there the AmalekiteH6003 and the CanaaniteH3669 are beforeH6440 youH3588, and ye shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: becauseH3588 ye are turnedH7725 backH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, therefore the LORDH3068 will notH3808 be with youH3588. 44But they presumed to goH5927 upH5927 to the topH7218 of the mountainH2022: nevertheless the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and MosesH4872, departedH4185 notH3808 outH413 of the campH4264. 45Then the AmalekiteH6003 cameH3381 downH3381, and the CanaaniteH3669 whichH1931 dweltH3427 in that mountainH2022, and smoteH5221 them and beatH5221 them downH3381, evenH5704 unto HormahH2767.
