RF NUM 14:1 Then all the Council arose and gave out their votes. The people also wept in that night;
RF NUM 14:2 and all the children of Israel complained against Moses and against Aaron. And all the Council asked; "Which was better for us? to die in the land of the Mitzeraim, or for us to die here in this desert?
RF NUM 14:3 And why did the EVER-LIVING bring us to this country to fall by the sword? Our wives and our children will be plunder. Is it not better for us to return to Mitzer!"
RF NUM 14:4 Then every man said to his brother, "Let us choose a leader and return to the Mitzeraim."
RF NUM 14:5 But Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the chiefs of the children of Israel,
RF NUM 14:6 and Joshua the son of Nun, and Kaleb the son of Jephunah, who had surveyed the country tore their garments,
RF NUM 14:7 and addressed all the chiefs of the children of Israel and said;—"The country that we travelled over to survey it, is a very, very good land.
RF NUM 14:8 If the EVER-LIVING is pleased with us, and goes with us to this country, He can give us this land which flows with milk and honey.
RF NUM 14:9 Rebel not against the EVER-LIVING! and fear not the people of the country, for we can devour them, throwing a shadow over them. Since the LORD is with us, fear them not!"
RF NUM 14:10 All the Council threatened, however, to murder them with stones; but the Glory of the EVER-LIVING appeared in the Hall of Assembly to all the children of Israel.
RF NUM 14:11 Then JEHOVAH said to Moses, "How long shall I be despised by this people? How long will they not trust to Me, in spite of all the wonders I have effected for them!
RF NUM 14:12 I could strike them with a word and destroy them, and could make from yourself a nation mightier than they."
RF NUM 14:13 Moses, however, said to the EVER-LIVING, "But when the Mitzerites hear of it, from the midst of whom You brought up this people by Your Might,
RF NUM 14:14 and the inhabitants of this country hear, who have heard that JEHOVAH is in the midst of this People,—who eye to eye have seen You are the EVER-LIVING,—and Your cloud has stood over them,—and with a perpetual cloud You have marched before them by day, and with a perpetual fire by night,—
RF NUM 14:15 that You have killed this People as a single man,—then the heathen, who have heard this report of You, will say;
RF NUM 14:16 Because JEHOVAH was not able to bring this People to the country that He swore to them, He has slain them in the desert!'
RF NUM 14:17 Consequently, now, O! EVER-LIVING, increase Your mercy, as You promised, saying,
RF NUM 14:18 'I am the EVER-LIVING, slow to anger, and of great mercy; forbearing towards passion and sin; and not destroying the helpless; punishing the fault of the fathers upon their children to the third and the fourth generation.'
RF NUM 14:19 Forgive, now, the passion of this people;—for Your Mercy is great, and as You have endured these people from Mitzer until now."
RF NUM 14:20 Then the EVER-LIVING replied, "I will forgive, as you request;—
RF NUM 14:21 for I LIVE FOR EVER, and the Majesty of the EVER-LIVING will fill the whole earth.
RF NUM 14:22 However all the men who have seen My Majesty, and the wonders that I effected amongst the Mitzeraim, and in the Wilderness,—yet have revolted from Me these ten times and not listened to My Voice,—
RF NUM 14:23 they shall not see the land which I promised to their fathers,—that is, all who despised Me, shall not see it.
RF NUM 14:24 But I except My servant Kaleb. His spirit was steadfast in him, and he was perfect after Me, therefore he shall arrive at the country where he went and his posterity shall inherit it."
RF NUM 14:25 The Israelites Retreat.
However, as the Amalekites and the Canaanites occupied the valley, on the next day they turned face and retreated from them towards the Wilderness leading to the Sea of Suf.
RF NUM 14:26 Punishment for the Revolt Denounced.
There JEHOVAH spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying;—
RF NUM 14:27 "For how long shall I hear the complaints of this vile mob complaining against Me? These complaints of the children of Israel that they murmur against Me?
RF NUM 14:28 Say to them, 'As I live, says JEHOVAH, according to their demand to My ears, I will do to them!
RF NUM 14:29 In this desert their corpses shall fall with all their officers and rulers, from the age of twenty years and upwards, who complained against Me.
RF NUM 14:30 They shall not arrive at the country that I raised My hand to lead them into,—except Kaleb the son of Jephunah, and Joshua the son of Nun.
RF NUM 14:31 But their children which they said would be enslaved, I will bring in, and they shall see the country which you despised;
RF NUM 14:32 but your corpses shall fall in this desert,
RF NUM 14:33 and your sons shall be scattered in the desert forty years, for you shall carry your whoredom until your bodies sink in the desert.
RF NUM 14:34 By the number of the days when you should have been examining the country,—forty days,—a year for a day, a year for a day, you shall carry your crimes,—forty years. Thus shall you recognize your rebellion.
RF NUM 14:35 I, the EVER-LIVING, have declared I will do this, to all this vile mob, who revolted against Me in this desert.—They shall perish there.—They shall die!
RF NUM 14:36 And the men whom Moses sent to spy the country, and who returned and complained about it, the whole of that band shall become dung upon the earth!
RF NUM 14:37 Those men shall die who reported bad of the land, to fight against the EVER-LIVING.
RF NUM 14:38 Yet Joshua the son of Nun, and Kaleb the son of Jephunah, shall live from among those who went to survey the country.'"
RF NUM 14:39 The Israelites Demand a Battle but the Amalekites Defeat Israel.
And Moses repeated these words to all the children of Israel, and the People mourned greatly.
RF NUM 14:40 At the morning, however, they arose to go up to the top of the hill, crying, "Here we are! Let us go up to the place which the EVER-LIVING said,—for we have sinned."
RF NUM 14:41 But Moses replied, "What is this? You transgress the command of JEHOVAH,—and He is not pleased.
RF NUM 14:42 You shall not go up;—for the EVER-LIVING is not with you, so you will be defeated before your enemies,
RF NUM 14:43 for the Amalekites and Canaanites are before you, and they will defeat you by the sword, because you have deserted from the EVER-LIVING, and JEHOVAH is not with you."
RF NUM 14:44 They, however, arrogantly ascended to the top of the hill; but the Ark of the Covenant of the EVER-LIVING and Moses did not move from the camp.—
RF NUM 14:45 So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who were encamped upon the hill, charged down and repulsed them, and pursued them as far as the valley.
