Numbers 14:40-45

Numbers 14:40-45

[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.
