Καὶ ἀναλαβοῦσα πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐνέδωκεν φωνῇ, καὶ ἔκλαιεν ὁ λαὸς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην.

καὶ διεγόγγυζον ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ
Ἀαρὼν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν γῆ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἢ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ εἰ ἀπεθάνομεν·

καὶ ἵνα τί κύριος εἰσάγει ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην
ἐν πολέμῳ ; αἱ γυναῖκες ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ παιδία ἔσονται εἰς νῦν οὖν βέλτιον ἡμῖν ἐστιν ἀποστραφῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον.

καὶ εἶπαν ἕτερος τῷ ἑτέρῳ Δῶμεν ἀρχηγὸν καὶ ἀποστρέψωμεν εἰς
Αἴγυπτον.

καὶ ἔπεσεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐναντίον
πάσης συναγωγῆς υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ,

Ἰησοῦς δὲ ὁ τοῦ Ναυὴ καὶ Χαλὲβ
ὁ τοῦ Ἰεφοννὴ τῶν κατασκεψαμένων τὴν γῆν διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν,

καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ λέγοντες
Ἡ γῆ, ἣν κατεσκεψάμεθα αὐτήν, ἀγαθή ἐστιν σφόδρα σφόδρα·

δεῖ
αἱρετίζει ἡμᾶς κύριος, εἰσάξει ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ δώσει αὐτὴν ἡμῖν ἣτις γῆ ἥτις ἐστὶν ῥέουσα γάλα καὶ μέλι.

ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ
κυρίου μὴ ἀποστάται γίνεσθε· ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ φοβηθῆτε τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς, ὅτι κατάβρωμα ἡμῖν ἐστίν· ἀφέστηκεν γὰρ ὁ καιρὸς ἀπ’ αὐτῶν, ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐν ἡμῖν· μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτούς.

καὶ εἶπεν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ
καταλιθοβολῆσαι αὐτούς. καὶ ἡ δόξα κυρίου ὤφθη ἐν νεφέλῃ ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου πᾶσι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ.

Καὶ
¹² εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν Ἓως τίνος παροξύνει με ὁ λαὸς οὗτος; ³ καὶ ἕως τίνος οὐ πιστεύουσίν μοι ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς σημείοις οἷς ἐποίησα
ἐν αὐτοῖς

πατάξω αὐτοὺς θανάτῳ καὶ ἀπολῶ αὐτούς, καὶ ποιήσω σὲ καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ μᾶλλον ἢ
τοῦτο.

καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον Καὶ ἀκούσεται Αἲγυπτος,
ὅτι ἤγαγες τῇ ἰσχύι σου τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐξ αὐτῶν·

ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἔπὶ τῆς γῆς ταύτης ἀκηκόασιν ὅτι σὺ εἶ Κύριος ἐν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, ὃστις ὀφθαλμοῖς κατ᾿ ὀφθαλμοὺς ὀπτάζῃ, Κύριε. καὶ ἡ νεφέλη σου ἐφέστηκεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης συνπορεύῃ πρότερος αὐτῶν τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ ἐν στύλῳ πυρὸς
τὴν νύκτα.

καὶ ἐκτρίψεις τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπον ἕνα,
καὶ ἐροῦσιν τὰ ἔθνη ὃσοι ἀκηκόασιν τὸ ὄνομά σου λέγοντες

Παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι Κύριον εἰσαγαγεῖν τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν
ὤμοσεν αὐτοῖς, κατέστρωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

καὶ νῦν ὑψωθήτω
ἡ ἰσχύς σου, Κύριε, ὃν τρόπον εἶπας λέγων

Κύριος μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος καὶ ἀληθινός, ἀφαιρῶν ἀνομίας καὶ ἀδικίας καὶ ἁμαρτίας· καὶ καθαρισμῷ οὐ καθαριεῖ τὸν ἔνοχον, ἀποδιδοὺς
ἁμαρτίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα ἕως τρίτης καὶ τετάρτης.

ἂφες τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου, καθάπερ ἳλεως
αὐτοῖς ἐγένου ἀπ᾿ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τοῦ νῦν.

καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς
Μωυσῆν Ἵλεως αὐτοῖς εἰμὶ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου·

ἀλλὰ ζῶ ἐγὼ καὶ ζῶν τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ ἐμπλήσει ἡ δόξα Κυρίου πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

ὃτι πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ ὁρῶντες τὴν δόξαν μου καὶ τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίησα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἐπείρασάν με τοῦτο δέκατον
καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσάν μου τῆς φωνῆς,

εἰ μὴν οὐκ ὄψονται τὴν γῆν ἣν ὤμοσα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν· ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἃ ἐστιν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ὧδε, ὅσοι οὐκ οἴδασιν ἀγαθὸν οὐδὲ κακόν, πᾶς νεώτερος ἄπειρος, τούτοις δώσω τὴν γῆν· πάντες δὲ οἱ παροξύναντές με
οὐκ ὄψονται αὐτήν.

ὁ δὲ παῖς μου Χαλέβ, ὃτι ἐγενήθη πνεῦμα ἕτερον ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐπηκολούθησέν μοι, εἰσάξω αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν γῆν εἰς ἣν εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κληρονομήσει αὐτήν.

⁴⁵

ὁ δὲ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι·

αὔριον
ἐπιστράφητε ὑμεῖς καὶ ἀπάρατε εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ὁδὸν θάλασσαν ἐρυθρόν.

Καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων

Ἓως τίνος τὴν συναγωγὴν τὴν πονηρὰν ταύτην ; αὐτοὶ γογγύζουσιν
ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ· τὴν γόγγυσιν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ἣν ἐγόγγυσαν περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀκήκοα.

εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς Ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει κύριος, εἰ μὴν ὃν
τρόπον λελαλήκατε εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου, οὕτως ποιήσω ὑμῖν·

ἦέν τῇ
ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ πεσεῖται τὰ κῶλα ὑμῶν καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐπισκοπὴ ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ κατηριθμημένοι ὑμῶν ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, ὅσοι ἐγόγγυσαν ἐπ’ ἐμοί·

εἰ ὑμεῖς εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐφ’ ἢν ἐξέτεινα
τὴν χεῖρά μου κατασκηνῶσαι ὑμᾶς ἐπ’ αὐτῆς, ἁλλ’ ἢ Χαλὲβ υἱὸς ἡ καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυή.

καὶ τὰ παιδία ἃ εἴπατε ἐν διαρθαι,
θαι, εἰσάξω εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ κληρονομήσουσιν τὴν γῆν ἢν ὑμεῖς ἀπέστητε ἀπ’ αὐτῆς.

καὶ τὰ κῶλα ὑμῶν πεσεῖται ἐν
τῇ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ·

οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἔσονται νεμόμενοι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ
τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἀνοίσουσιν τὴν πορνείαν ὑμῶν ἕως ἀναλωθῇ τὰ κῶλα ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν ὅσας
κατεσκέψασθε τὴν γῆν, τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας, ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ, λήμψεσθε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη, καὶ γνώσεσθε τὸν θυμὸν τῆς ὀργῆς μου.

ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα, εἰ μὴ οὕτως ποιήσω
τῇ συναγωγῇ τῇ πονηρᾷ ταύτῃ τῇ ἐπισυνεσταμένῃ ἐπ’ ἐμέ· ἐν τῆ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ ἐξαναλωθήσονται καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανοῦνται.

καὶ οἱ ἂνθρωποι
οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν γῆν, καὶ παραγενηθέντες διεγόγγυσαν κατ’ αὐτῆς πρὸς τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐξενέγκαι ῥήματα πονηρὰ περὶ τῆς γῆς,

καὶ ἀπέθανον οἱ ανθρωποι οἱ κατείπαντες
κατὰ τῆς γῆς πονηρὰ ἐν τῇ πληγῇ ἔναντι Κυρίου·

κοὶ
Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυὴ καὶ Χαλὲβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννὴ ἔζησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐκείνων τῶν πεπορευμένων κατασκέψασθαι τὴν γῆν.

Καὶ
ἐλάλησεν Μωυσῆς τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ⁶⁷
ἐπένθησεν ὁ λαὸς σφόδρα.

καὶ ὀρθρίσαντες τὸ πρωὶ ἀνέβησαν ⁸ εἰς τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ ὄρους λέγοντες ἰδοὺ οἵδε ἡμεῖς ἀναβησόμεθα
εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν κύριος, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν

καὶ εἶπεν ἵνα τί ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ; οὐκ οὐκ εὔοδα ὒ

μὴ ἀναβαίνετε, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν, καὶ πεσεῖσθε πρὸ
προσώπου τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν.

ὃτι ὁ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος ἐκεῖ ἔμπροσθεν ὑμῶν, καὶ πεσεῖσθε μαχαίρᾳ· οὗ εἵνεκεν ἀπεστράφητε
ἀπειθοῦντες κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται κύριος ἐν ὑμῖν.

καὶ διαβιασάμενοι ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ ὄρους· ἡ δὲ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης
κυρίου καὶ Μωυσῆς οὐκ ἐκινήθησαν ἐκ τῆς παρ’ ἐμβολὴ

καὶ κατέβη ὁ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος ὁ ἐνκαθήμενος ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἐκείνῳ, καὶ ἐτρέψαντο αὐτοὺς καὶ κατέκοψαν αὐτοὺς ἕως Ἑρμᾶν· καὶ ἀπεστράφησαν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.

Numbers Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 14 focus

All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness!

Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt?

They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:

and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.

If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

Only don't rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us: don't fear them.

But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Israel.

Yahweh said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?

I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.

Moses said to Yahweh, Then the Egyptians will 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. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,

Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.

Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your lovingkindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to your word:

but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh;

because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;

surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see 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 which he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea .

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel , which they murmur against me.

Tell them, As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:

your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,

surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.

After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my alienation.

I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, 37 even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh.

But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

Moses told these words to all the children of Israel : and the people mourned greatly.

They rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned.

Moses said, Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, seeing it shall not prosper?

Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.

For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you.

But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp.

Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
