14:1 And all the congregation 5712 lifted up 5375 8799 their voice 6963, and cried 5414 8799; and the people 5971 wept 1058 8799 that night 3915.

14:2 And all the children 1121 of Israel 3478 murmured 3885 8735 against Moses 4872 and against Aaron 175: and the whole congregation 5712 said 559 8799 unto them, Would God 3863 that we had died 4191 8804 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714! or would God 3863 we had died 4191 8804 in this wilderness 4057!

14:3 And wherefore hath the LORD 3068 brought 935 8688 us unto this land 776, to fall 5307 8800 by the sword 2719, that our wives 802 and our children 2945 should be a prey 957? were it not better 2896 for us to return 7725 8800 into Egypt 4714?

14:4 And they said 559 8799 one 376 to another 251, Let us make 5414 8799 a captain 7218, and let us return 7725 8799 into Egypt 4714.

14:5 Then Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 fell 5307 8799 on their faces 6440 before 6440 all the assembly 6951 of the congregation 5712 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

14:6 And Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312, [which were] of them that searched 8446 8802 the land 776, rent 7167 8804 their clothes 899:

14:7 And they spake 559 8799 unto all the company 5712 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559 8800, The land 776, which we passed 5674 8804 through to search 8446 8800 it, [is] an exceeding 3966 3966 good 2896 land 776.

14:8 If the LORD 3068 delight 2654 8804 in us, then he will bring 935 8689 us into this land 776, and give 5414 8804 it us; a land 776 which floweth 2100 8802 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.

14:9 Only rebel 4775 8799 not ye against the LORD 3068, neither fear 3372 8799 ye the people 5971 of the land 776; for they [are] bread 3899 for us: their defence 6738 is departed 5493 8804 from them, and the LORD 3068 [is] with us: fear 3372 8799 them not.(defence: Heb. shadow)

14:10 But all the congregation 5712 bade 559 8799 stone 7275 8800 them with stones 68. And the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 8738 in the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150 before all the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

14:11 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, How long will this people 5971 provoke 5006 8762 me? and how long will it be ere 3808 they believe 539 8686 me, for all the signs 226 which I have shewed 6213 8804 among 7130 them?

14:12 I will smite 5221 8686 them with the pestilence 1698, and disinherit 3423 8686 them, and will make 6213 8799 of thee a greater 1419 nation 1471 and mightier 6099 than they.

14:13 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto the LORD 3068, Then the Egyptians 4714 shall hear 8085 8804 [it], (for thou broughtest up 5927 8689 this people 5971 in thy might 3581 from among 7130 them;)

14:14 And they will tell 559 8804 [it] to the inhabitants 3427 8802 of this land 776: [for] they have heard 8085 8804 that thou LORD 3068 [art] among 7130 this people 5971, that thou LORD 3068 art seen 7200 8738 face 5869 to face 5869, and [that] thy cloud 6051 standeth 5975 8802 over them, and [that] thou goest 1980 8802 before 6440 them, by day time 3119 in a pillar 5982 of a cloud 6051, and in a pillar 5982 of fire 784 by night 3915.

14:15 Now [if] thou shalt kill 4191 8689 [all] this people 5971 as one 259 man 376, then the nations 1471 which have heard 8085 8804 the fame 8088 of thee will speak 559 8804, saying 559 8800,

14:16 Because the LORD 3068 was not 1115 able 3201 8800 to bring 935 8687 this people 5971 into the land 776 which he sware 7650 8738 unto them, therefore he hath slain 7819 8799 them in the wilderness 4057.

14:17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power 3581 of my Lord 136 be great 1431 8799, according 834 as thou hast spoken 1696 8765, saying 559 8800,

14:18 The LORD 3068 [is] longsuffering 750 639, and of great 7227 mercy 2617, forgiving 5375 8802 iniquity 5771 and transgression 6588, and by no means 5352 8763 clearing 5352 8762 [the guilty], visiting 6485 8802 the iniquity 5771 of the fathers 1 upon the children 1121 unto the third 8029 and fourth 7256 [generation].

14:19 Pardon 5545 8798, I beseech thee, the iniquity 5771 of this people 5971 according unto the greatness 1433 of thy mercy 2617, and as thou hast forgiven 5375 8804 this people 5971, from Egypt 4714 even until now 2008.(until…: or, hitherto)

14:20 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799, I have pardoned 5545 8804 according to thy word 1697:

14:21 But [as] truly 199 [as] I live 2416, all the earth 776 shall be filled 4390 8735 with the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068.

14:22 Because all those men 582 which have seen 7200 8802 my glory 3519, and my miracles 226, which I did 6213 8804 in Egypt 4714 and in the wilderness 4057, and have tempted 5254 8762 853 me now these ten 6235 times 6471, and have not hearkened 8085 8804 to my voice 6963;

14:23 Surely they shall not 518 see 7200 8799 the land 776 which I sware 7650 8738 unto their fathers 1, neither shall any of them that provoked 5006 8764 me see 7200 8799 it:(Surely…: Heb. If they see the land)

14:24 But my servant 5650 Caleb 3612, because 6118 he had another 312 spirit 7307 with him, and hath followed 310 me fully 4390 8762, him will I bring 935 8689 into the land 776 whereinto he went 935 8804; and his seed 2233 shall possess 3423 8686 it.

14:25 (Now the Amalekites 6003 and the Canaanites 3669 dwelt 3427 8802 in the valley 6010.) To morrow 4279 turn 6437 8798 you, and get 5265 8798 you into the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 of the Red 5488 sea 3220.

14:26 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 8762 unto Moses 4872 and unto Aaron 175, saying 559 8800,

14:27 How long [shall I bear with] this evil 7451 congregation 5712, which murmur 3885 8688 against me? I have heard 8085 8804 the murmurings 8519 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, which they murmur 3885 8688 against me.

14:28 Say 559 8798 unto them, [As truly as] 3808 I live 2416, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, as ye have spoken 1696 8765 in mine ears 241, so will I do 6213 8799 to you:

14:29 Your carcases 6297 shall fall 5307 8799 in this wilderness 4057; and all that were numbered 6485 8803 of you, according to your whole number 4557, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, which have murmured 3885 8689 against me,

14:30 Doubtless ye shall not 518 come 935 8799 into the land 776, [concerning] which I sware 3027 5375 8804 to make you dwell 7931 8763 therein, save Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312, and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.(sware: Heb. lifted up my hand)

14:31 But your little ones 2945, which ye said 559 8804 should be a prey 957, them will I bring in 935 8689, and they shall know 3045 8804 the land 776 which ye have despised 3988 8804.

14:32 But [as for] you, your carcases 6297, they shall fall 5307 8799 in this wilderness 4057.

14:33 And your children 1121 shall wander 7462 8802 in the wilderness 4057 forty 705 years 8141, and bear 5375 8804 your whoredoms 2184, until your carcases 6297 be wasted 8552 8800 in the wilderness 4057.(wander: or, feed)

14:34 After the number 4557 of the days 3117 in which ye searched 8446 8804 the land 776, [even] forty 705 days 3117, each day 3117 for a year 8141 3117 8141, shall ye bear 5375 8799 your iniquities 5771, [even] forty 705 years 8141, and ye shall know 3045 8804 my breach of promise 8569.(breach…: or, altering of my purpose)

14:35 I the LORD 3068 have said 1696 8765, I will surely 518 3808 do 6213 8799 it 2063 unto all this evil 7451 congregation 5712, that are gathered together 3259 8737 against me: in this wilderness 4057 they shall be consumed 8552 8735, and there they shall die 4191 8799.

14:36 And the men 582, which Moses 4872 sent 7971 8804 to search 8446 8800 the land 776, who returned 7725 8799, and made all the congregation 5712 to murmur 3885 8686 8675 3885 8735 against him, by bringing up 3318 8687 a slander 1681 upon the land 776,

14:37 Even those 582 men 582 that did bring up 3318 8688 the evil 7451 report 1681 upon the land 776, died 4191 8799 by the plague 4046 before 6440 the LORD 3068.

14:38 But Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312, [which were] of the men 1992 582 that went 1980 8802 to search 8446 8800 the land 776, lived 2421 8804 [still].

14:39 And Moses 4872 told 1696 8762 these sayings 1697 unto all the children 1121 of Israel 3478: and the people 5971 mourned 56 8691 greatly 3966.

14:40 And they rose up early 7925 8686 in the morning 1242, and gat them up 5927 8799 into the top 7218 of the mountain 2022, saying 559 8800, Lo 2009, we [be here], and will go up 5927 8804 unto the place 4725 which the LORD 3068 hath promised 559 8804: for we have sinned 2398 8804.

14:41 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799, Wherefore now do ye transgress 5674 8802 the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068? but it shall not prosper 6743 8799.

14:42 Go not up 5927 8799, for the LORD 3068 [is] not among 7130 you; that ye be not smitten 5062 8735 before 6440 your enemies 341 8802.

14:43 For the Amalekites 6003 and the Canaanites 3669 [are] there before 6440 you, and ye shall fall 5307 8804 by the sword 2719: because ye are turned 7725 8804 away 310 from the LORD 3068, therefore the LORD 3068 will not be with you.

14:44 But they presumed 6075 8686 to go up 5927 8800 unto the hill 2022 top 7218: nevertheless the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, and Moses 4872, departed 4185 8804 not out 7130 of the camp 4264.

14:45 Then the Amalekites 6003 came down 3381 8799, and the Canaanites 3669 which dwelt 3427 8802 in that hill 2022, and smote 5221 8686 them, and discomfited 3807 8686 them, [even] unto Hormah 2767.
