1	And all the congregation lifted up# their voice, and cried# ; and the people wept# that night.
			2	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 wherefore hath 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# one to another, Let us make# a captain, and let us return# into Egypt.
			5	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, which were of them that searched# the land, rent# their clothes:
			7	And they spake# 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 the LORD delight# in us, then he will bring# us into this land, and give# it us; a land which floweth# with milk and honey.
			9	Only rebel# not ye against the LORD, neither fear# ye 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. [defence: Heb. shadow]
			10	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 the LORD said# unto Moses, How long will this people provoke# me? and how long will it be ere they believe# me, for all the signs which I have shewed# among them?
			12	I will smite# them with the pestilence, and disinherit# them, and will make# of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
			13	And Moses said# unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear# it , (for thou broughtest up# this people in thy might from among them;)
			14	And they will tell# it to the inhabitants# of this land: for they have heard# that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen# face to face, and that thy cloud standeth# over them, and that thou goest# before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
			15	Now if thou shalt kill# all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard# the fame of thee will speak# , saying# ,
			16	Because the LORD was not able# to bring# this people into the land which he sware# unto them, therefore he hath slain# them in the wilderness.
			17	And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great# , according as thou hast spoken# , saying# ,
			18	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	Pardon# , I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven# this people, from Egypt even until now. [until...: or, hitherto]
			20	And the LORD said# , I have pardoned# according to thy word:
			21	But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled# with the glory of the LORD.
			22	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	Surely they shall not see# the land which I sware# unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked# me see# it: [Surely...: Heb. If they see the land]
			24	But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully# , him will I bring# into the land whereinto he went# ; and his seed shall possess# it.
			25	(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt# in the valley.) To morrow turn# you, and get# you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
			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# against me.
			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# against me,
			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. [sware: Heb. lifted up my hand]
			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. [wander: or, feed]
			34	After the number of the days in which ye searched# the land, even forty days, each day for a year# # , shall ye bear# your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know# my breach of promise. [breach...: or, altering of my purpose]
			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	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	Even those men that did bring up# the evil report upon the land, died# by the plague before the LORD.
			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# still .
			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# , Lo, 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, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
			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.
