Numbers 14 (kjv)

And all the congregation^H5712 lifted up^H5375 their voice^H6963, and cried^H5414; and the people^H5971 wept^H1058 that night^H3915.²And all the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 murmured^H3885 against Moses^H4872 and against Aaron^H175: and the whole congregation^H5712 said^H559 unto them, Would God^H3863 that we had died^H4191 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714! or would God^H3863 we had died^H4191 in this wilderness^H4057!³And wherefore hath the LORD^H3068 brought^H935 us unto this land^H776, to fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719, that our wives^H802 and our children^H2945 should be a prey^H957? were it not better^H2896 for us to return^H7725 into Egypt^H4714?⁴And they said^H559 one^H376 to another^H251, Let us make^H5414 a captain^H7218, and let us return^H7725 into Egypt^H4714.⁵Then Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175 fell^H5307 on their faces^H6440 before^H6440 all the assembly^H6951 of the congregation^H5712 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478.

⁶And Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126, and Caleb^H3612 the son^H1121 of Jephunneh^H3312, which were of them that searched^H8446 the land^H776, rent^H7167 their clothes^H899:⁷And they spake^H559 unto all the company^H5712 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, saying^H559, The land^H776, which we passed^H5674 through to search^H8446 it, is an exceeding^{H3966 H3966} good^H2896 land^H776.⁸If the LORD^H3068 delight^H2654 in us, then he will bring^H935 us into this land^H776, and give^H5414 it us; a land^H776 which floweth^H2100 with milk^H2461 and honey^H1706.⁹Only rebel^H4775 not ye against the LORD^H3068, neither fear^H3372 ye the people^H5971 of the land^H776; for they are bread^H3899 for us: their defence^H6738 is departed^H5493 from them, and the LORD^H3068 is with us: fear^H3372 them not.¹⁰But all the congregation^H5712 bade^H559 stone^H7275 them with stones^H68. And the glory^H3519 of the LORD^H3068 appeared^H7200 in the tabernacle^H168 of the congregation^H4150 before all the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478.

¹¹And the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto Moses^H4872, How long will this people^H5971 provoke^H5006 me? and how long will it be ere^H3808 they believe^H539 me, for all the signs^H226 which I have shewed^H6213 among^H7130 them?¹²I will smite^H5221 them with the pestilence^H1698, and disinherit^H3423 them, and will make^H6213 of thee a greater^H1419 nation^H1471 and mightier^H6099 than they.

¹³And Moses^H4872 said^H559 unto the LORD^H3068, Then the Egyptians^H4714 shall hear^H8085 it, (for thou broughtest up^H5927 this people^H5971 in thy might^H3581 from among^H7130 them;)¹⁴And they will tell^H559 it to the inhabitants^H3427 of this land^H776: for they have heard^H8085 that thou LORD^H3068 art among^H7130 this people^H5971, that thou LORD^H3068 art seen^H7200 face^H5869 to face^H5869, and that thy cloud^H6051 standeth^H5975 over them, and that thou goest^H1980 before^H6440 them, by day time^H3119 in a pillar^H5982 of a cloud^H6051, and in a pillar^H5982 of fire^H784 by night^H3915.¹⁵Now if thou shalt kill^H4191 all this people^H5971 as one^H259 man^H376, then the nations^H1471 which have heard^H8085 the fame^H8088 of thee will speak^H559, saying^H559,¹⁶Because the LORD^H3068 was not^H1115 able^H3201 to bring^H935 this people^H5971 into the land^H776 which he sware^H7650 unto them, therefore he hath slain^H7819 them in the wilderness^H4057.¹⁷And now, I beseech thee, let the power^H3581 of my Lord^H136 be great^H1431, according^H834 as thou hast spoken^H1696, saying^H559,¹⁸The LORD^H3068 is longsuffering^{H750 H639}, and of great^H7227 mercy^H2617, forgiving^H5375 iniquity^H5771 and transgression^H6588, and by no means^H5352 clearing^H5352 the guilty, visiting^H6485 the iniquity^H5771 of the fathers^H1 upon the children^H1121 unto the third^H8029 and fourth^H7256 generation.¹⁹Pardon^H5545, I beseech thee, the iniquity^H5771 of this people^H5971 according unto the greatness^H1433 of thy mercy^H2617, and as thou hast forgiven^H5375 this people^H5971, from Egypt^H4714 even until now^H2008.²⁰And the LORD^H3068 said^H559, I have pardoned^H5545 according to thy word^H1697:²¹But as truly^H199 as I live^H2416, all the earth^H776 shall be filled^H4390 with the glory^H3519 of the LORD^H3068.²²Because all those men^H582 which have seen^H7200 my glory^H3519, and my miracles^H226, which I did^H6213 in Egypt^H4714 and in the wilderness^H4057, and have tempted^{H5254 H853} me now these ten^H6235 times^H6471, and have not hearkened^H8085 to my voice^H6963;²³Surely they shall not^H518 see^H7200 the land^H776 which I sware^H7650 unto their fathers^H1, neither shall any of them that provoked^H5006 me see^H7200 it:²⁴But my servant^H5650 Caleb^H3612, because^H6118 he had another^H312 spirit^H7307 with him, and hath followed^H310 me fully^H4390, him will I bring^H935 into the land^H776 whereinto he went^H935; and his seed^H2233 shall possess^H3423 it.²⁵(Now the Amalekites^H6003 and the Canaanites^H3669 dwelt^H3427 in the valley^H6010.) To morrow^H4279 turn^H6437 you, and get^H5265 you into the wilderness^H4057 by the way^H1870 of the Red^H5488 sea^H3220.

²⁶And the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 unto Moses^H4872 and unto Aaron^H175, saying^H559,²⁷How long shall I bear with this evil^H7451 congregation^H5712, which murmur^H3885 against me? I have heard^H8085 the murmurings^H8519 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, which they murmur^H3885 against me.²⁸Say^H559 unto them, As truly as^H3808 I live^H2416, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, as ye have spoken^H1696 in mine ears^H241, so will I do^H6213 to you:²⁹Your carcases^H6297 shall fall^H5307 in this wilderness^H4057; and all that were numbered^H6485 of you, according to your whole number^H4557, from twenty^H6242 years^H8141 old^H1121 and upward^H4605, which have murmured^H3885 against me,³⁰Doubtless ye shall not^H518 come^H935 into the land^H776, concerning which I sware^{H3027 H5375} to make you dwell^H7931 therein, save Caleb^H3612 the son^H1121 of Jephunneh^H3312, and Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126.³¹But your little ones^H2945, which ye said^H559 should be a prey^H957, them will I bring in^H935, and they shall know^H3045 the land^H776 which ye have despised^H3988.³²But as for you, your carcases^H6297, they shall fall^H5307 in this wilderness^H4057.³³And your children^H1121 shall wander^H7462 in the wilderness^H4057 forty^H705 years^H8141, and bear^H5375 your whoredoms^H2184, until your carcases^H6297 be wasted^H8552 in the wilderness^H4057.³⁴After the number^H4557 of the days^H3117 in which ye searched^H8446 the land^H776, even forty^H705 days^H3117, each day^H3117 for a year^{H8141 H3117 H8141}, shall ye bear^H5375 your iniquities^H5771, even forty^H705 years^H8141, and ye shall know^H3045 my breach of promise^H8569.³⁵I the LORD^H3068 have said^H1696, I will surely^{H518 H3808} do^H6213 it^H2063 unto all this evil^H7451 congregation^H5712, that are gathered together^H3259 against me: in this wilderness^H4057 they shall be consumed^H8552, and there they shall die^H4191.

³⁶And the men^H582, which Moses^H4872 sent^H7971 to search^H8446 the land^H776, who returned^H7725, and made all the congregation^H5712 to murmur^{H3885 H3885} against him, by bringing up^H3318 a slander^H1681 upon the land^H776,³⁷Even those^H582 men^H582 that did bring up^H3318 the evil^H7451 report^H1681 upon the land^H776, died^H4191 by the plague^H4046 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068.³⁸But Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126, and Caleb^H3612 the son^H1121 of Jephunneh^H3312, which were of the men^{H1992 H582} that went^H1980 to search^H8446 the land^H776, lived^H2421 still.³⁹And Moses^H4872 told^H1696 these sayings^H1697 unto all the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: and the people^H5971 mourned^H56 greatly^H3966.

⁴⁰And they rose up early^H7925 in the morning^H1242, and gat them up^H5927 into the top^H7218 of the mountain^H2022, saying^H559, Lo^H2009, we be here, and will go up^H5927 unto the place^H4725 which the LORD^H3068 hath promised^H559: for we have sinned^H2398.⁴¹And Moses^H4872 said^H559, Wherefore now do ye transgress^H5674 the commandment^H6310 of the LORD^H3068? but it shall not prosper^H6743.⁴²Go not up^H5927, for the LORD^H3068 is not among^H7130 you; that ye be not smitten^H5062 before^H6440 your enemies^H341.⁴³For the Amalekites^H6003 and the Canaanites^H3669 are there before^H6440 you, and ye shall fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719: because ye are turned^H7725 away^H310 from the LORD^H3068, therefore the LORD^H3068 will not be with you.⁴⁴But they presumed^H6075 to go up^H5927 unto the hill^H2022 top^H7218: nevertheless the ark^H727 of the covenant^H1285 of the LORD^H3068, and Moses^H4872, departed^H4185 not out^H7130 of the camp^H4264.⁴⁵Then the Amalekites^H6003 came down^H3381, and the Canaanites^H3669 which dwelt^H3427 in that hill^H2022, and smote^H5221 them, and discomfited^H3807 them, even unto Hormah^H2767.
