Numbers 14:26-45

Numbers 14:26-45

[26] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses  and unto 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  [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: [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  [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.  [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.  [32] But as for you, your carcases,  they 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.  [34] After the number  of the days  in which ye searched  the land,  even forty  days,  for a year,  shall ye bear  your iniquities,  even forty  years,  and ye shall know  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.  [36] 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,  [37] Even those  that did bring up  the evil  report  upon the land,  died  by the plague  before  [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  [39] And Moses  told  these sayings  unto all the children  of Israel:  and the people  mourned  greatly.  [40] And they rose up early  in the morning,  and gat them up  into the top  of the mountain,  saying,  we be here, and will go up  unto 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.  [42] Go not up,  for the LORD  is not among  you; that ye be not smitten  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,  [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.  [45] Then the Amalekites  came down,  and the Canaanites  which dwelt  in that hill,  and smote  them, and discomfited  them, even unto Hormah.
