Numbers 14:1-43

14:1

And all the congregation
<05712>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_,

and cried
<05414> (8799)_;

and the people
<05971>

wept
<01058> (8799)

that night
<03915>_.

14:2

And all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

murmured
<03885> (8735)

against Moses
<04872>

and against Aaron
<0175>_:

and the whole congregation
<05712>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Would God
<03863>

that we had died
<04191> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_!

or would God
<03863>

we had died
<04191> (8804)

in this wilderness
<04057>_!

14:3

And wherefore hath the LORD
<03068>

brought
<0935> (8688)

us unto this land
<0776>_,

to fall
<05307> (8800)

by the sword
<02719>_,

that our wives
<0802>

and our children
<02945>

should be a prey
<0957>_?

were it not better
<02896>

for us to return
<07725> (8800)

into Egypt
<04714>_?

14:4

And they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<0251>_,

Let us make
<05414> (8799)

a captain
<07218>_,

and let us return
<07725> (8799)

into Egypt
<04714>_.

14:5

Then Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>

fell
<05307> (8799)

on their faces
<06440>

before
<06440>

all the assembly
<06951>

of the congregation
<05712>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

14:6

And Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

and Caleb
<03612>

the son
<01121>

of Jephunneh
<03312>_,

[which were] of them that searched
<08446> (8802)

the land
<0776>_,

rent
<07167> (8804)

their clothes
<0899>_:

14:7

And they spake
<0559> (8799)

unto all the company
<05712>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The land
<0776>_,

which we passed
<05674> (8804)

through to search
<08446> (8800)

it, [is] an exceeding
<03966> <03966>

good
<02896>

land
<0776>_.

14:8

If the LORD
<03068>

delight
<02654> (8804)

in us, then he will bring
<0935> (8689)

us into this land
<0776>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

it us; a land
<0776>

which floweth
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_.

14:9

Only rebel
<04775> (8799)

not ye against the LORD
<03068>_,

neither fear
<03372> (8799)

ye the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_;

for they [are] bread
<03899>

for us: their defence
<06738>

is departed
<05493> (8804)

from them, and the LORD
<03068>

[is] with us: fear
<03372> (8799)

them not. {defence: Heb. shadow}

14:10

But all the congregation
<05712>

bade
<0559> (8799)

stone
<07275> (8800)

them with stones
<068>_.

And the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8738)

in the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>

before all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

14:11

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

How long will this people
<05971>

provoke
<05006> (8762)

me? and how long will it be ere
<03808>

they believe
<0539> (8686)

me, for all the signs
<0226>

which I have shewed
<06213> (8804)

among
<07130>

them?

14:12

I will smite
<05221> (8686)

them with the pestilence
<01698>_,

and disinherit
<03423> (8686)

them, and will make
<06213> (8799)

of thee a greater
<01419>

nation
<01471>

and mightier
<06099>

than they.

14:13

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

Then the Egyptians
<04714>

shall hear
<08085> (8804)

[it], (for thou broughtest up
<05927> (8689)

this people
<05971>

in thy might
<03581>

from among
<07130>

them;)

14:14

And they will tell
<0559> (8804)

[it] to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this land
<0776>_:

[for] they have heard
<08085> (8804)

that thou LORD
<03068>

[art] among
<07130>

this people
<05971>_,

that thou LORD
<03068>

art seen
<07200> (8738)

face
<05869>

to face
<05869>_,

and [that] thy cloud
<06051>

standeth
<05975> (8802)

over them, and [that] thou goest
<01980> (8802)

before
<06440>

them, by day time
<03119>

in a pillar
<05982>

of a cloud
<06051>_,

and in a pillar
<05982>

of fire
<0784>

by night
<03915>_.

14:15

Now [if] thou shalt kill
<04191> (8689)

[all] this people
<05971>

as one
<0259>

man
<0376>_,

then the nations
<01471>

which have heard
<08085> (8804)

the fame
<08088>

of thee will speak
<0559> (8804)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

14:16

Because the LORD
<03068>

was not
<01115>

able
<03201> (8800)

to bring
<0935> (8687)

this people
<05971>

into the land
<0776>

which he sware
<07650> (8738)

unto them, therefore he hath slain
<07819> (8799)

them in the wilderness
<04057>_.

14:17

And now, I beseech thee, let the power
<03581>

of my Lord
<0136>

be great
<01431> (8799)_,

according
<0834>

as thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

14:18

The LORD
<03068>

[is] longsuffering
<0750> <0639>_,

and of great
<07227>

mercy
<02617>_,

forgiving
<05375> (8802)

iniquity
<05771>

and transgression
<06588>_,

and by no means
<05352> (8763)

clearing
<05352> (8762)

[the guilty], visiting
<06485> (8802)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the fathers
<01>

upon the children
<01121>

unto the third
<08029>

and fourth
<07256>

[generation].

14:19

Pardon
<05545> (8798)_,

I beseech thee, the iniquity
<05771>

of this people
<05971>

according unto the greatness
<01433>

of thy mercy
<02617>_,

and as thou hast forgiven
<05375> (8804)

this people
<05971>_,

from Egypt
<04714>

even until now
<02008>_.

{until...: or, hitherto}

14:20

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have pardoned
<05545> (8804)

according to thy word
<01697>_:

14:21

But [as] truly
<0199>

[as] I live
<02416>_,

all the earth
<0776>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

14:22

Because all those men
<0582>

which have seen
<07200> (8802)

my glory
<03519>_,

and my miracles
<0226>_,

which I did
<06213> (8804)

in Egypt
<04714>

and in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and have tempted
<05254> (8762) <0853>

me now these ten
<06235>

times
<06471>_,

and have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)

to my voice
<06963>_;

14:23

Surely they shall not
<0518>

see
<07200> (8799)

the land
<0776>

which I sware
<07650> (8738)

unto their fathers
<01>_,

neither shall any of them that provoked
<05006> (8764)

me see
<07200> (8799)

it: {Surely...: Heb. If they see the land}

14:24

But my servant
<05650>

Caleb
<03612>_,

because
<06118>

he had another
<0312>

spirit
<07307>

with him, and hath followed
<0310>

me fully
<04390> (8762)_,

him will I bring
<0935> (8689)

into the land
<0776>

whereinto he went
<0935> (8804)_;

and his seed
<02233>

shall possess
<03423> (8686)

it.

14:25

(Now the Amalekites
<06003>

and the Canaanites
<03669>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the valley
<06010>.)

To morrow
<04279>

turn
<06437> (8798)

you, and get
<05265> (8798)

you into the wilderness
<04057>

by the way
<01870>

of the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_.

14:26

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>

and unto Aaron
<0175>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

14:27

How long [shall I bear with] this evil
<07451>

congregation
<05712>_,

which murmur
<03885> (8688)

against me? I have heard
<08085> (8804)

the murmurings
<08519>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which they murmur
<03885> (8688)

against me.

14:28

Say
<0559> (8798)

unto them, [As truly as]
<03808>

I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

as ye have spoken
<01696> (8765)

in mine ears
<0241>_,

so will I do
<06213> (8799)

to you:

14:29

Your carcases
<06297>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

in this wilderness
<04057>_;

and all that were numbered
<06485> (8803)

of you, according to your whole number
<04557>_,

from twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

and upward
<04605>_,

which have murmured
<03885> (8689)

against me,

14:30

Doubtless ye shall not
<0518>

come
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>_,

[concerning] which I sware
<03027> <05375> (8804)

to make you dwell
<07931> (8763)

therein, save Caleb
<03612>

the son
<01121>

of Jephunneh
<03312>_,

and Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_.

{sware: Heb. lifted up my hand}

14:31

But your little ones
<02945>_,

which ye said
<0559> (8804)

should be a prey
<0957>_,

them will I bring in
<0935> (8689)_,

and they shall know
<03045> (8804)

the land
<0776>

which ye have despised
<03988> (8804)_.

14:32

But [as for] you, your carcases
<06297>_,

they shall fall
<05307> (8799)

in this wilderness
<04057>_.

14:33

And your children
<01121>

shall wander
<07462> (8802)

in the wilderness
<04057>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_,

and bear
<05375> (8804)

your whoredoms
<02184>_,

until your carcases
<06297>

be wasted
<08552> (8800)

in the wilderness
<04057>_.

{wander: or, feed}

14:34

After the number
<04557>

of the days
<03117>

in which ye searched
<08446> (8804)

the land
<0776>_,

[even] forty
<0705>

days
<03117>_,

each day
<03117>

for a year
<08141> <03117> <08141>_,

shall ye bear
<05375> (8799)

your iniquities
<05771>_,

[even] forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_,

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

my breach of promise
<08569>_.

{breach...: or, altering of my purpose}

14:35

I the LORD
<03068>

have said
<01696> (8765)_,

I will surely
<0518> <03808>

do
<06213> (8799)

it
<02063>

unto all this evil
<07451>

congregation
<05712>_,

that are gathered together
<03259> (8737)

against me: in this wilderness
<04057>

they shall be consumed
<08552> (8735)_,

and there they shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

14:36

And the men
<0582>_,

which Moses
<04872>

sent
<07971> (8804)

to search
<08446> (8800)

the land
<0776>_,

who returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and made all the congregation
<05712>

to murmur
<03885> (8686) (8675) <03885> (8735)

against him, by bringing up
<03318> (8687)

a slander
<01681>

upon the land
<0776>_,

14:37

Even those
<0582>

men
<0582>

that did bring up
<03318> (8688)

the evil
<07451>

report
<01681>

upon the land
<0776>_,

died
<04191> (8799)

by the plague
<04046>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

14:38

But Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

and Caleb
<03612>

the son
<01121>

of Jephunneh
<03312>_,

[which were] of the men
<01992> <0582>

that went
<01980> (8802)

to search
<08446> (8800)

the land
<0776>_,

lived
<02421> (8804)

[still].

14:39

And Moses
<04872>

told
<01696> (8762)

these sayings
<01697>

unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and the people
<05971>

mourned
<056> (8691)

greatly
<03966>_.

14:40

And they rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and gat them up
<05927> (8799)

into the top
<07218>

of the mountain
<02022>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lo
<02009>_,

we [be here], and will go up
<05927> (8804)

unto the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath promised
<0559> (8804)_:

for we have sinned
<02398> (8804)_.

14:41

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore now do ye transgress
<05674> (8802)

the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

but it shall not prosper
<06743> (8799)_.

14:42

Go not up
<05927> (8799)_,

for the LORD
<03068>

[is] not among
<07130>

you; that ye be not smitten
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

your enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

14:43

For the Amalekites
<06003>

and the Canaanites
<03669>

[are] there before
<06440>

you, and ye shall fall
<05307> (8804)

by the sword
<02719>_:

because ye are turned
<07725> (8804)

away
<0310>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

therefore the LORD
<03068>

will not be with you.
