AND all the assembly lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
And all the children of Yashar'el murmured against Mosheh and against Aharon: and the whole assembly said unto them, Would to Elohiym that we had died in the land of Mitsrayim! or would to Elohiym we had died in this wilderness!
And wherefore has Yahuah brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our women and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Mitsrayim?
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Mitsrayim.
Then Mosheh and Aharon fell on their faces before all the assembly of the assembly of the children of Yashar'el.
And Yahusha the son of Nun, and Kalev the son of Yephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
And they spoke unto all the company of the children of Yashar'el, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
If Yahuah delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
Only rebel not ye against Yahuah, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and Yahuah is with us: fear them not.
But all the assembly bade stone them with stones. And the glory of Yahuah appeared in the Tabernacle of the assembly before all the children of Yashar'el.
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
And Mosheh said unto El-Yahuah, Then the Mitsriym shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them;)
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you Yahuah are among this people, that you Yahuah 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.
Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
Because Yahuah was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore unto them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
And now, I beseech you, let the power of my Adonai be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
Yahuah 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.
Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Mitsrayim even until now.
And Yahuah said, I have pardoned according to your word:
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahuah.
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Mitsrayim and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
But my servant Kalev, because he had another ruach with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
(Now the Amaleqiym and the Kena`aniym dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
And Yahuah spoke unto El-Mosheh and unto El-Aharon, saying,
How long shall I bear with this evil assembly, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Yashar'el, which they murmur against me.
Say unto them, As truly as I live, says Yahuah, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
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,
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Kalev the son of Yephunneh, and Yahusha the son of Nun.
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.
But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
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.
I Yahuah have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil assembly, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
And the men, which Mosheh sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the assembly to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before Yahuah.
But Yahusha the son of Nun, and Kalev the son of Yephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
And Mosheh told these sayings unto all the children of Yashar'el: and the people mourned greatly.
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 Yahuah has promised: for we have sinned.
And Mosheh said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of Yahuah? but it shall not prosper.
Go not up, for Yahuah is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
For the Amaleqiym and the Kena`aniym are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from Yahuah, therefore Yahuah will not be with you.
But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the Ark of the Covenant of Yahuah, and Mosheh, departed not out of the camp.
Then the Amaleqiym came down, and the Kena`aniym which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Chormah.
