Numbers 14
14:1And taking up, all the congregation gave a sound, and the people wept that entire night.
14:2And they complained over Moses and Aaron -- all the sons of Israel. And all the congregation said to them, Ought that we should die in the land of Egypt, than we should die in this wilderness.
14:3And why did the lord bring us into this land to fall in war? Our wives and children will be for ravaging. Now then it is best for us to return to Egypt.
14:4And the other said to the other, We should appoint a chief, and we should return unto Egypt.
14:5And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
14:6And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of the ones surveying the land, tore their cloaks.
14:7And they said to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed it, it is good exceedingly exceedingly.
14:8If the lord selected us, he will bring us into this land, and he will give it to us; a land which is flowing milk and honey.
14:9But from the lord do not become defectors; And you, do not fear the people of the land! for they are a thing devoured for us. for the time has left from them, and the lord is among us; do not fear them!
14:10And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of the lord appeared in the cloud upon the tent of the testimony among all the sons of Israel.
14:11And the lord said to Moses, For how long does this people provoke me? And for how long do they not trust me, for all the signs which I did among them?
14:12I will strike them in death, and I will destroy them, and I will make you into a great and populous nation rather than this one.
14:13And Moses said to the lord, And Egypt shall hear that you led this people by your strength from them,
14:14but also all the ones dwelling upon this land have heard, that you are the lord among this people, who eyes to eyes you behold, O lord, and your cloud stands over them, and in a column of cloud you go in front of them by the day, and in a column of fire by the night.
14:15And shall you obliterate this people as one man? and the nations shall say, as many as heard your name, saying,
14:16Because the lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore by an oath to them, he prostrated them in the wilderness.
14:17And now, raise up high your strength, O lord, in which manner you said, saying,
14:18The lord is lenient, and full of mercy, and true, removing lawless deeds, and iniquities, and sins; but by cleansing he shall not cleanse the liable, repaying the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
14:19Dismiss the sin of this people according to your great mercy, just as kindness happened to them from Egypt until the present.
14:20And the lord said, I am kind to them according to your word;
14:21but as I live, that the glory of the lord will fill all the earth.
14:22For all the men seeing my glory, and the signs which I did in Egypt, and in this wilderness, and test me this tenth time, and are not listening to my voice,
14:23assuredly they shall not see the land which I swore by an oath to their fathers; but only their children who are with me here, as many as have not known good or evil, every young one inexperienced, to these I will give the land. But all the ones provoking me shall not see it.
14:24But my servant Caleb, for another spirit is in him, and he followed after me, I will bring him into the land into which you enter there, and his seed shall inherit it.
14:25But Amalek and the Canaanites dwell in the valley. Tomorrow you should turn and depart into the wilderness way of the red sea.
14:26And the lord said to Moses and Aaron, saying,
14:27For how long shall I endure this wicked congregation, in which they grumble before me? The grumbling of the sons of Israel, which they grumble concerning you, I have heard.
14:28Say to them, as I live, says the lord, assuredly in which manner you spoke into my ears, so I will do for you.
14:29In this wilderness your carcasses shall fall, even all overseeing you, and the ones being counted of you from twenty years old and up, as many as grumbled against me.
14:30Shall you enter into the land upon which I stretched out my hand to encamp you upon it, no. But only Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun,
14:31and the children who you said, to be for ravaging, I will bring them into the land which you abstained from it.
14:32And your carcasses will fall in this wilderness.
14:33But your sons will be fed in the wilderness forty years. And they shall bear your harlotry, until whenever your carcasses should be consumed in the wilderness.
14:34According to the number of the days, as many as you surveyed the land -- forty days; a day for the year you will take for your sins -- forty years; and you shall know the rage of my anger.
14:35I the lord spoke. Assuredly thus I will do to this wicked congregation, to the one rising up together against me. In this wilderness they shall be completely consumed, and there they shall die.
14:36And the men whom Moses sent to survey the land, and coming, complained concerning this to the congregation, to bring forth bad words concerning the land,
14:37and they died, the men avowing bad things concerning the land in the calamity before the lord.
14:38And Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh lived of those men, of the ones going to survey the land.
14:39And Moses spoke these words to all the sons of Israel; and the people mourned exceedingly.
14:40And rising early in the morning, they ascended into the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we shall ascend unto the place which the lord spoke, for we sinned.
14:41And Moses said, Why do you violate the word of the lord? it will not be prosperous for you.
14:42Do not ascend, for the lord is not with you. And you shall fall before the face of your enemies.
14:43For Amalek and the Canaanite are there in front of you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you were turned resisting the persuasion by the lord, and the lord will not be with you.
14:44And forcing through, they ascended upon the top of the mountain. But the ark of the covenant of the lord, and Moses did not move from out of the midst of the camp.
14:45And Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite lying in wait in that mountain, and they routed them, and they slew them unto Hormah.
