[1] All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. [2] All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt, or that we had died in this wilderness! [3] Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return into Egypt?” [4] They said to one another, “Let’s choose a leader, and let’s return into Egypt.” [5] Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. [6] Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes. [7] They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. [8] If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which flows with milk and honey. [9] Only don’t rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don’t fear them.” [10] But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones.Yahweh’s glory appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel. [11] Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? How long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them? [12] I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.” [13] Moses said to Yahweh, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them. [14] They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are among this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. [15] Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying, [16] ‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’ [17] Now please let the power of the Lord§ be great, according as you have spoken, saying, [18] ‘Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’ [19] Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.” [20] Yahweh said, “I have pardoned according to your word; [21] but in very deed—as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with Yahweh’s glory— [22] because all those men who have seen my glory and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice; [23] surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it. [24] But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess it. [25] Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.” [26] Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [27] “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel, which they complain against me. [28] Tell them, ‘As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will do to you. [29] Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained against me, [30] surely you shall not come into the land concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. [31] But I will bring in your little ones that you said should be captured or killed, and they shall know the land which you have rejected. [32] But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. [33] Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness. [34] After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’ [35] I, Yahweh, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.” [36] The men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land, [37] even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh. [38] But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land. [39] Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly. [40] They rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised; for we have sinned.” [41] Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, since it shall not prosper? [42] Don’t go up, for Yahweh isn’t among you; that way you won’t be struck down before your enemies. [43] For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you will fall by the sword because you turned back from following Yahweh; therefore Yahweh will not be with you.” [44] But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and Moses didn’t depart out of the camp. [45] Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to Hormah.

King James Version
[1] And all the congregationH5712 lifted upH5375(QalImpf) their voice,H6963 and cried;H5414(QalImpf) and the peopleH5971 weptH1058(QalImpf) that night.H3915 [2] And all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885(NiphImpf) against MosesH4872 and against Aaron:H175 and the whole congregationH5712 saidH559(QalImpf) unto them, Would GodH3863 that we had diedH4191(QalPerf) in the landH776 of Egypt!H4714 or would GodH3863 we had diedH4191(QalPerf) in this wilderness!H4057 [3] And wherefore hath the LordH3068 broughtH935(HiphPtc) us unto this land,H776 to fallH5307(QalInf) by the sword,H2719 that our wivesH802 and our childrenH2945 should be a prey?H957 were it not betterH2896 for us to returnH7725(QalInf) into Egypt?H4714 [4] And they saidH559(QalImpf) oneH376 to another,H251 Let us makeH5414(QalImpf) a captain,H7218 and let us returnH7725(QalImpf) into Egypt.H4714 [5] Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 fellH5307(QalImpf) on their facesH6440 beforeH6440 all the assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478 [6] And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Nun,H5126 and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of Jephunneh,H3312 [which were] of them that searchedH8446(QalActPtc) the land,H776 rentH7167(QalPerf) their clothes:H899 [7] And they spakeH559(QalImpf) unto all the companyH5712 of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 saying,H559(QalInf) The land,H776 which we passedH5674(QalPerf) through to searchH8446(QalInf) it, [is] an exceedingH3966 goodH2896 land.H776 [8] If the LordH3068 delightH2654(QalPerf) in us, then he will bringH935(HiphPerf) us into this land,H776 and giveH5414(QalPerf) it us; a landH776 which flowethH2100(QalActPtc) with milkH2461 and honey.H1706 [9] Only rebelH4775(QalImpf) not ye against the Lord,H3068 neither fearH3372(QalImpf) ye the peopleH5971 of the land;H776 for they [are] breadH3899 for us: their defenceH6738 is departedH5493(QalPerf) from them, and the LordH3068 [is] with us: fearH3372(QalImpf) them not. [10] But all the congregationH5712 badeH559(QalImpf) stoneH7275(QalInf) them with stones.H68 And the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200(NiphPerf) in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 before all the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478 [11] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Moses,H4872 How long will this peopleH5971 provokeH5006(PielImpf) me? and how long will it be ereH3808 they believeH539(HiphImpf) me, for all the signsH226 which I have shewedH6213(QalPerf) amongH7130 them? [12] I will smiteH5221(HiphImpf) them with the pestilence,H1698 and disinheritH3423(HiphImpf) them, and will makeH6213(QalImpf) of thee a greaterH1419 nationH1471 and mightierH6099 than they. [13] And MosesH4872 saidH559(QalImpf) unto the Lord,H3068 Then the EgyptiansH4714 shall hearH8085(QalPerf) [it], (for thou broughtest upH5927(HiphPerf) this peopleH5971 in thy mightH3581 from amongH7130 them;) [14] And they will tellH559(QalPerf) [it] to the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of this land:H776 [for] they have heardH8085(QalPerf) that thou LordH3068 [art] amongH7130 this people,H5971 that thou LordH3068 art seenH7200(NiphPerf) faceH5869 to face,H5869 and [that] thy cloudH6051 standethH5975(QalActPtc) over them, and [that] thou goestH1980(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 them, by day timeH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloud,H6051 and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by night.H3915 [15] Now [if] thou shalt killH4191(HiphPerf) [all] this peopleH5971 as oneH259 man,H376 then the nationsH1471 which have heardH8085(QalPerf) the fameH8088 of thee will speak,H559(QalPerf) saying,H559(QalInf) [16] Because the LordH3068 was notH1115 ableH3201(QalInf) to bringH935(HiphInf) this peopleH5971 into the landH776 which he swareH7650(NiphPerf) unto them, therefore he hath slainH7819(QalImpf) them in the wilderness.H4057 [17] And now, I beseech thee, let the powerH3581 of my LordH136 be great,H1431(QalImpf) accordingH834 as thou hast spoken,H1696(PielPerf) saying,H559(QalInf) [18] The LordH3068 [is] longsuffering,H750 and of greatH7227 mercy,H2617 forgivingH5375(QalActPtc) iniquityH5771 and transgression,H6588 and by no meansH5352(PielInf) clearingH5352(PielImpf) [the guilty], visitingH6485(QalActPtc) the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 [generation]. [19] Pardon,H5545(QalImpv) I beseech thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according unto the greatnessH1433 of thy mercy,H2617 and as thou hast forgivenH5375(QalPerf) this people,H5971 from EgyptH4714 even until now.H2008 [20] And the LordH3068 said,H559(QalImpf) I have pardonedH5545(QalPerf) according to thy word:H1697 [21] But [as] trulyH199 [as] I live,H2416 all the earthH776 shall be filledH4390(NiphImpf) with the gloryH3519 of the Lord.H3068 [22] Because all those menH582 which have seenH7200(QalActPtc) my glory,H3519 and my miracles,H226 which I didH6213(QalPerf) in EgyptH4714 and in the wilderness,H4057 and have temptedH5254(PielImpf) me now these tenH6235 times,H6471 and have not hearkenedH8085(QalPerf) to my voice;H6963 [23] Surely they shall notH518 seeH7200(QalImpf) the landH776 which I swareH7650(NiphPerf) unto their fathers,H1 neither shall any of them that provokedH5006(PielPtc) me seeH7200(QalImpf) it: [24] But my servantH5650 Caleb,H3612 becauseH6118 he had anotherH312 spiritH7307 with him, and hath followedH310 me fully,H4390(PielImpf) him will I bringH935(HiphPerf) into the landH776 whereinto he went;H935(QalPerf) and his seedH2233 shall possessH3423(HiphImpf) it. [25] (Now the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in the valley.H6010) To morrowH4279 turnH6437(QalImpv) you, and getH5265(QalImpv) you into the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 of the RedH5488 sea.H3220 [26] And the LordH3068 spakeH1696(PielImpf) unto MosesH4872 and unto Aaron,H175 saying,H559(QalInf) [27] How long [shall I bear with] this evilH7451 congregation,H5712 which murmurH3885(HiphPtc) against me? I have heardH8085(QalPerf) the murmuringsH8519 of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 which they murmurH3885(HiphPtc) against me. [28] SayH559(QalImpv) unto them, [As truly as]H3808 I live,H2416 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 as ye have spokenH1696(PielPerf) in mine ears,H241 so will I doH6213(QalImpf) to you: [29] Your carcasesH6297 shall fallH5307(QalImpf) in this wilderness;H4057 and all that were numberedH6485(QalPasPtc) of you, according to your whole number,H4557 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upward,H4605 which have murmuredH3885(HiphPerf) against me, [30] Doubtless ye shall notH518 comeH935(QalImpf) into the land,H776 [concerning] which I swareH3027 to make you dwellH7931(PielInf) therein, save CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of Jephunneh,H3312 and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Nun.H5126 [31] But your little ones,H2945 which ye saidH559(QalPerf) should be a prey,H957 them will I bring in,H935(HiphPerf) and they shall knowH3045(QalPerf) the landH776 which ye have despised.H3988(QalPerf) [32] But [as for] you, your carcases,H6297 they shall fallH5307(QalImpf) in this wilderness.H4057 [33] And your childrenH1121 shall wanderH7462(QalActPtc) in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 years,H8141 and bearH5375(QalPerf) your whoredoms,H2184 until your carcasesH6297 be wastedH8552(QalInf) in the wilderness.H4057 [34] After the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 in which ye searchedH8446(QalPerf) the land,H776 [even] fortyH705 days,H3117 each dayH3117 for a year,H8141 shall ye bearH5375(QalImpf) your iniquities,H5771 [even] fortyH705 years,H8141 and ye shall knowH3045(QalPerf) my breach of promise.H8569 [35] I the LordH3068 have said,H1696(PielPerf) I will surelyH518 doH6213(QalImpf) itH2063 unto all this evilH7451 congregation,H5712 that are gathered togetherH3259(NiphPtc) against me: in this wildernessH4057 they shall be consumed,H8552(NiphImpf) and there they shall die.H4191(QalImpf) [36] And the men,H582 which MosesH4872 sentH7971(QalPerf) to searchH8446(QalInf) the land,H776 who returned,H7725(QalImpf) and made all the congregationH5712 to murmurH3885(HiphImpf/Qere) against him, by bringing upH3318(HiphInf) a slanderH1681 upon the land,H776 [37] Even thoseH582 menH582 that did bring upH3318(HiphPtc) the evilH7451 reportH1681 upon the land,H776 diedH4191(QalImpf) by the plagueH4046 beforeH6440 the Lord.H3068 [38] But JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Nun,H5126 and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of Jephunneh,H3312 [which were] of the menH1992 that wentH1980(QalActPtc) to searchH8446(QalInf) the land,H776 livedH2421(QalPerf) [still]. [39] And MosesH4872 toldH1696(PielImpf) these sayingsH1697 unto all the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 and the peopleH5971 mournedH56(HithImpf) greatly.H3966 [40] And they rose up earlyH7925(HiphImpf) in the morning,H1242 and gat them upH5927(QalImpf) into the topH7218 of the mountain,H2022 saying,H559(QalInf) Lo,H2009 we [be here], and will go upH5927(QalPerf) unto the placeH4725 which the LordH3068 hath promised:H559(QalPerf) for we have sinned.H2398(QalPerf) [41] And MosesH4872 said,H559(QalImpf) Wherefore now do ye transgressH5674(QalActPtc) the commandmentH6310 of the Lord?H3068 but it shall not prosper.H6743(QalImpf) [42] Go not up,H5927(QalImpf) for the LordH3068 [is] not amongH7130 you; that ye be not smittenH5062(NiphImpf) beforeH6440 your enemies.H341(QalActPtc) [43] For the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 [are] there beforeH6440 you, and ye shall fallH5307(QalPerf) by the sword:H2719 because ye are turnedH7725(QalPerf) awayH310 from the Lord,H3068 therefore the LordH3068 will not be with you. [44] But they presumedH6075(HiphImpf) to go upH5927(QalInf) unto the hillH2022 top:H7218 nevertheless the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the Lord,H3068 and Moses,H4872 departedH4185(QalPerf) not outH7130 of the camp.H4264 [45] Then the AmalekitesH6003 came down,H3381(QalImpf) and the CanaanitesH3669 which dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in that hill,H2022 and smoteH5221(HiphImpf) them, and discomfitedH3807(HiphImpf) them, [even] unto Hormah.H2767
