Numbers 14 — Scripture text (King James Version)
And all the congregation5712 lifted up5375 their voice6963, and cried5414; and the people5971 wept1058 that night3915. And all the children1121 of 3478 murmured3885 against 4872 and against 175: and the whole congregation5712 said559 unto them, Would God3863 that we had died4191 in the land776 of 4714! or would God3863 we had died4191 in this wilderness4057! And wherefore hath the LORD3068 brought935 us unto this land776, to fall5307 by the 2719, that our wives802 and our children2945 should be a prey957? were it not better2896 for us to return7725 into 4714? And they said559 one376 to another251, Let us make5414 a captain7218, and let us return7725 into 4714. Then 4872 and 175 fell5307 their faces6440 before6440 all the assembly6951 of the congregation5712 of the children1121 of 3478. And 3091 the son1121 of Nun5126, and 3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312, which were of them that searched8446 the land776, rent7167 their clothes899: And they spake559 unto all the company5712 of the children1121 of 3478, saying559, The land776, which we passed5674 through to search8446 it, is an exceeding3966 3966 good2896 land776. If the LORD3068 delight2654 in us, then he will bring935 us into this land776, and give5414 it us; a land776 which floweth2100 with milk2461 and honey1706. Only rebel4775 not ye against the LORD3068, neither fear3372 ye the people5971 of the land776; for they are bread3899 for us: their defence6738 is departed5493 from them, and the LORD3068 is with us: fear3372 them not. defence: Heb. shadow But all the congregation5712 bade559 stone7275 them with stones68. And the 3519 of the LORD3068 appeared7200 in the 168 of the congregation4150 before all the children1121 of 3478. And the LORD3068 said559 unto 4872, How long will this people5971 provoke5006 me? and how long will it be ere3808 they believe539 me, for all the signs226 which I have shewed6213 among7130 them? I will smite5221 them with the pestilence1698, and disinherit3423 them, and will make6213 of thee a greater1419 nation1471 and mightier6099 than they. And 4872 said559 unto the LORD3068, Then the 4714 shall hear8085 it, (for thou broughtest up5927 this people5971 in thy might3581 from among7130 them;) And they will tell559 it to the inhabitants3427 of this land776: for they have heard8085 that thou LORD3068 art among7130 this people5971, that thou LORD3068 art seen7200 face5869 to face5869, and that thy cloud6051 standeth5975 over them, and that thou goest1980 before6440 them, by day time3119 in a pillar5982 of a cloud6051, and in a pillar5982 of fire784 by night3915. Now if thou shalt kill4191 all this people5971 as one259 man376, then the nations1471 which have heard8085 the fame8088 of thee will speak559, saying559, Because the LORD3068 was not1115 able3201 to bring935 this people5971 into the land776 which he sware7650 unto them, therefore he hath slain7819 them in the wilderness4057. And now, I beseech thee, let the power3581 of my Lord136 be great1431, according834 as thou hast spoken1696, saying559, The LORD3068 is longsuffering750 639, and of great7227 2617, forgiving5375 iniquity5771 and transgression6588, and by no means5352 clearing5352 the guilty, visiting6485 the iniquity5771 of the fathers1 upon the children1121 unto the third8029 and fourth7256 generation. Pardon5545, I beseech thee, the iniquity5771 of this people5971 according unto the greatness1433 of thy 2617, and as thou hast forgiven5375 this people5971, from 4714 even until now2008. until: or, hitherto And the LORD3068 said559, I have pardoned5545 according to thy word1697: But as truly199 as I live2416, all the earth776 shall be filled4390 with the 3519 of the LORD3068. Because all those men582 which have seen7200 my 3519, and my miracles226, which I did6213 in 4714 and in the wilderness4057, and have tempted5254 853 me now these ten6235 times6471, and have not hearkened8085 to my voice6963; Surely they shall not518 see7200 the land776 which I sware7650 unto their fathers1, neither shall any of them that provoked5006 me see7200 it: Surely: Heb. If they see the land But my servant5650 3612, because6118 he had another312 spirit7307 with him, and hath followed310 me fully4390, him will I bring935 into the land776 whereinto he went935; and his seed2233 shall possess3423 it. (Now the 6003 and the 3669 dwelt3427 in the valley6010.) To morrow4279 turn6437 you, and get5265 you into the wilderness4057 by the way1870 of the Red5488 sea3220. And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto 4872 and unto 175, saying559, How long shall I with this evil7451 congregation5712, which murmur3885 against me? I have heard8085 the murmurings8519 of the children1121 of 3478, which they murmur3885 against me. Say559 unto them, As truly as 3808 I live2416, saith5002 the LORD3068, as ye have spoken1696 in mine ears241, so will I do6213 to you: Your carcases6297 shall fall5307 in this wilderness4057; and all that were numbered6485 of you, according to your whole number4557, from twenty6242 years8141 old1121 and upward4605, which have murmured3885 against me, Doubtless ye shall not518 come935 into the land776, concerning which I sware3027 5375 to make you dwell7931 therein, save 3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312, and 3091 the son1121 of Nun5126. sware: Heb. lifted up my hand But your little ones2945, which ye said559 should be a prey957, them will I bring in935, and they shall know3045 the land776 which ye have despised3988. But as for you, your carcases6297, they shall fall5307 in this wilderness4057. And your children1121 shall wander7462 in the wilderness4057 forty705 years8141, and 5375 your whoredoms2184, until your carcases6297 be wasted8552 in the wilderness4057. wander: or, feed After the number4557 of the days3117 in which ye searched8446 the land776, even forty705 days3117, each day3117 for a year8141 3117 8141, shall ye 5375 your iniquities5771, even forty705 years8141, and ye shall know3045 my breach of promise8569. breach: or, altering of my purpose I the LORD3068 have said1696, I will surely518 3808 do6213 it2063 unto all this evil7451 congregation5712, that are gathered together3259 against me: in this wilderness4057 they shall be consumed8552, and there they shall die4191. And the men582, which 4872 sent7971 to search8446 the land776, who returned7725, and made all the congregation5712 to murmur3885 3885 against him, by bringing up3318 a slander1681 upon the land776, Even those582 men582 that did bring up3318 the evil7451 report1681 upon the land776, died4191 by the plague4046 before6440 the LORD3068. But 3091 the son1121 of Nun5126, and 3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312, which were of the men1992 582 that went1980 to search8446 the land776, lived2421 still. And 4872 told1696 these sayings1697 unto all the children1121 of 3478: and the people5971 mourned56 greatly3966. And they rose up early7925 in the morning1242, and gat them up5927 into the top7218 of the mountain2022, saying559, Lo2009, we be here, and will go up5927 unto the place4725 which the LORD3068 hath promised559: for we have sinned2398. And 4872 said559, Wherefore now do ye transgress5674 the commandment6310 of the LORD3068? but it shall not prosper6743. Go not up5927, for the LORD3068 is not among7130 you; that ye be not smitten5062 before6440 your enemies341. For the 6003 and the 3669 are there before6440 you, and ye shall fall5307 by the 2719: because ye are turned7725 away310 from the LORD3068, therefore the LORD3068 will not be with you. But they presumed6075 to go up5927 unto the hill2022 top7218: nevertheless the 727 of the 1285 of the LORD3068, and 4872, departed4185 not out7130 of the camp4264. Then the 6003 came down3381, and the 3669 which dwelt3427 in that hill2022, and smote5221 them, and discomfited3807 them, even unto Hormah2767.
