13
And Moses said unto the L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
art
among this people, that thou L
ORD
art seen face to face, and
that
thy cloud standeth over them, and
that
thou goest before them, by daytime 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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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.
20
And the L
ORD
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
L
ORD
.
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:
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, 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.
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.
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.
35
I the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
38
But Joshua
