| [1]And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. |
[1]Then all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried: and the people wept that night, |
| [2]And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! |
[2]And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron: and the whole assembly said unto them, Would God we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness: would God we were dead. |
| [3]And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? |
[3]Wherefore now hath the Lord brought us into this land to fall upon the sword? Our wives, and our children shall be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt? |
| [4]And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. |
[4]And they said one to another, Let us make a captain and return into Egypt. |
| [5]Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. |
[5]Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. |
| [6]And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: |
[6]And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh two of them that searched the land, rent their clothes, |
| [7]And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good land. |
[7]And spake unto all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good land. |
| [8]If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. |
[8]If the Lord love us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us, which is a land that floweth with milk and honey. |
| [9]Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not. |
[9]But rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land: for they are but bread for us: their shield is departed from them, and the Lord is with us, fear them not. |
| [10]But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel. |
[10]And all the multitude said, Stone them with stones: but the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation, before all the children of Israel. |
| [11]And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? |
[11]And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me, and how long will it be, ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them? |
| [12]I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee, and the house of your father a greater nation and mightier than they. |
[12]I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make thee a greater nation and mightier than they. |
| [13]And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;) |
[13]But Moses said unto the Lord, When the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest this people by thy power from among them) |
| [14]And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land: [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and [that] thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. |
[14]Then they shall say to the inhabitants of this land, ( for they have heard that thou, Lord, art among this people, and that thou, Lord, art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night) |
| [15]Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying |
[15]That thou wilt kill this people as one man: so the heathen which have heard the fame of thee, shall thus say, |
| [16]Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. |
[16]Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land, which he swear unto them, therefore hath he slain them in the wilderness? |
| [17]And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying |
[17]And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, |
| [18]The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy,and of truth, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation]. |
[18]The Lord is slow to anger, and of great mercy, and forgiving iniquity, and sin, but not making the wicked innocent, and visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children, in the third and fourth generation: |
| [19]Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. |
[19]Be merciful, I beseech thee, unto the iniquity of this people, according to thy great mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt, even until now. |
| [20]And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: |
[20]And the Lord said, I have forgiven it, according to thy request. |
| [21]But [as] truly [as] I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. |
[21]Notwithstanding, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. |
| [22]Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; |
[22]For all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles which I did in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this ten times, and have not obeyed my voice, |
| [23]Surely they shall not see the land which I sware to give unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: |
[23]Certainly they shall not see the land, whereof I swear unto their fathers: neither shall any that provoke me, see it. |
| [24]But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. |
[24]But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit, and hath followed me still, even him will I bring into the land, whither he went, and his seed shall inherit it. |
| [25](Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. |
[25]Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites remain in the valley: wherefore turn back tomorrow, and get you into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea. |
| [26]And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying |
[26]After, the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, |
| [27]How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. |
[27]How long shall I suffer this wicked multitude to murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. |
| [28]Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: |
[28]Tell them, As I live (saith the Lord) I will surely do unto you, even as ye have spoken in mine ears. |
| [29]Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me |
[29]Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness and all you that were counted through all your numbers, from twenty year old and above, which have murmured against me, |
| [30]Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. |
[30]Ye shall not doubtless come into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand, to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. |
| [31]But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. |
[31]But your children, (which ye said should be a prey) them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused: |
| [32]But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. |
[32]But even your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, |
| [33]And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. |
[33]And your children shall wander in the wilderness, forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness. |
| [34]After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. |
[34]After the number of the days, in the which ye searched out the land, even forty days, every day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquity, for forty years, and ye shall feel my breach of promise. |
| [35]I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. |
[35]I the Lord have said, Certainly I will do so to all this wicked company, that are gathered together against me: for in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. |
| [36]And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land |
[36]And the men which Moses had sent to search the land (which, when they came again, made all the people to murmur against him, and brought up a slander upon the land) |
| [37]Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. |
[37]Even those men that did bring up that vile slander upon the land, shall die by a plague before the Lord. |
| [38]But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still]. |
[38]But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall live. |
| [39]And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. |
[39]Then Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel, and the people sorrowed greatly. |
| [40]And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here], and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. And the LORD God saying to Moses: speak to them that not you shall ascend and not you shall battle, as there is no me within you and you will be defeated before faces of your enemies. |
[40]And they rose up early in the morning and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be ready, to go up to the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned. |
| [41]And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper. |
[41]But Moses said, Wherefore transgress ye thus the commandment of the Lord? It will not so come well to pass. |
| [42]Go not up, for the LORD [is] not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. |
[42]Go not up (for the Lord is not among you) lest ye be overthrown before your enemies. |
| [43]For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you. |
[43]For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: for in as much as ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you. |
| [44]But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. |
[44]Yet they presumed obstinately to go up to the top of the mountain: but the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses departed not out of the camp. |
| [45]Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, to meet them. And they are chasing them according to the words. And smote them, and discomfited them, [even] unto Hormah. And they are returning to the camp |
[45]Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites, which dwelt in that mountain, came down and smote them, and consumed them unto Hormah. |
