1 And it lifted up all the congregation and they gave forth voice their and they wept the people in the night that.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 And they grumbled on Moses and on Aaron all [the] people of Israel and they said to them all the congregation if we had died in [the] land of Egypt or in the wilderness this if we had died.
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!
3 And why? [is] Yahweh bringing us into the land this to fall by the sword wives our and little one[s] our they will become plunder ¿ not good for us [is] to return Egypt towards.
And wherefore has 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?
4 And they said each to brother his let us appoint a leader and let us return Egypt towards.
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 And he fell Moses and Aaron on faces their before all [the] assembly of [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel.
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 one of those [who] spied out the land they tore clothes their.
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
7 And they said to all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel saying the land which we passed in it to spy out it [is] good the land very very.
And they spoke unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 If he delights in us Yahweh and he will bring us into the land this and he will give it to us a land which it [is] flowing of milk and honey.
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Only against Yahweh may not you rebel and you may not you fear [the] people of the land for [will be] bread our they it has departed shade their from over them and Yahweh [is] with us may not you fear them.
Only rebel not all of you against the LORD, neither fear all of you 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.
10 And they said all the congregation to stone them with stones and [the] glory of Yahweh it appeared at [the] tent of meeting to all [the] people of Israel.
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.
11 And he said Yahweh to Moses until when? will they spurn me the people this and until when? not will they believe in me with all the signs which I did in midst its.
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
12 I will strike it with pestilence and I will dispossess it and I may make you a nation great and mighty more than it.
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And he said Moses to Yahweh and they will hear Egypt that you brought up by strength your the people this from midst its.
And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them; )
14 And they will say to [the] inhabitant[s] of the land this they have heard that you O Yahweh [are] in [the] midst of the people this who eye in eye he was seen - you O Yahweh and cloud your [is] standing over them and in a pillar of cloud you [are] going before them by day and in a pillar of fire night.
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 And you will put to death the people this like a person one and they will say the nations which they have heard report your saying.
Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 Because not was able Yahweh to bring the people this into the land which he swore to them and he has slaughtered them in the wilderness.
Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore unto them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
17 And therefore may it be great please [the] power of [the] Lord just as you have spoken saying.
And now, I plead to you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 Yahweh [is] long of anger and great of covenant loyalty forgiving iniquity and transgression and certainly not he will leave unpunished visiting [the] iniquity of parents on [the] children on a third generation and on a fourth generation.
The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Forgive please [the] iniquity of the people this according to [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your and just as you have forgiven the people this from Egypt and until now.
Pardon, I plead to you, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20 And he said Yahweh I have forgiven [them] according to word your.
And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:
21 And but [by] [the] life of me so may be filled [with the] glory of Yahweh all the earth.
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
22 For all the men who saw glory my and signs my which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and they have put to [the] test me this ten times and not they have listened to voice my.
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;
23 If they will see the land which I swore to ancestors their and all [those who] have spurned me not they will see it.
Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 And servant my Caleb consequence it has been a spirit another with him and he has filled after me and I will bring him into the land where he went there and offspring his it will take possession of it.
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 And the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [was] dwelling in the valley[s] tomorrow turn and set out for yourselves the wilderness [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s].
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron saying.
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
27 Until when? to the congregation the evil this which they [are] grumbling on me [the] grumblings of [the] people of Israel which they [are] grumbling on me I have heard.
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.
28 Say to them [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh if not just as you have spoken in ears my so I will do to you.
Say unto them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as all of you have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
29 In the wilderness this they will fall corpses your and all enrolled [men] your of all number your from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards who you have grumbled on me.
Your carcasses 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.
30 If you you will go into the land which I lifted up hand my to cause to dwell you in it that except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh and Joshua [the] son of Nun.
Doubtless all of you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 And little one[s] your who you said plunder he will become and I will bring them and they will know the land which you have rejected it.
But your little ones, which all of you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which all of you have despised.
32 And corpses your you they will fall in the wilderness this.
But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 And children your they will be shepherds in the wilderness forty year[s] and they will bear prostitution your until are finished corpses your in the wilderness.
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
34 By [the] number of the days which you spied out the land forty day[s] a day for the year a day for the year you will bear iniquities your forty year[s] and you will know opposition my.
After the number of the days in which all of you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall all of you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and all of you shall know my breach of promise.
35 I Yahweh I have spoken if not - this I will do to all the congregation the evil this which has gathered on me in the wilderness this they will meet their end and there they will die.
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 And the men whom he sent Moses to spy out the land and they returned (and they caused to grumble *QK) on him all the congregation by bringing out a bad report on the land.
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,
37 And they died the men [who] brought out [the] unfavorable report of the land evil by plague before Yahweh.
Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38 And Joshua [the] son of Nun and Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh they lived of the men those who went to spy out the land.
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.
39 And he spoke Moses the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they mourned the people exceedingly.
And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 And they rose early in the morning and they went up to [the] top of the hill country saying here [are] we and we will go up to the place which he said Yahweh that we have sinned.
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
41 And he said Moses why? this [are] you transgressing [the] mouth of Yahweh and it not it will succeed.
And Moses said, Wherefore now do all of you transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
42 May not you go up for not Yahweh [will be] in midst your and not you will be defeated before enemies your.
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that all of you be not smitten before your enemies.
43 For the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [are] there before you and you will fall by the sword for since you have turned back from after Yahweh and not he will be Yahweh with you.
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and all of you shall fall by the sword: because all of you are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
44 And they presumed to go up to [the] top of the hill country and [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and Moses not they departed from [the] midst of the camp.
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 And he came down the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] who dwelt in the hill country that and they struck them and they scattered them to Hormah.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and stroke them, and humiliated them, even unto Hormah.
