Numbers 14 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

The People Rebel

Num 14:1All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

Num 14:2All the children of Yisra'el murmured against Moshe and against Aharon: and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Mitzrayim! or would that we had died in this wilderness!

Num 14:3

Num 14:3Why does the LORD 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 Mitzrayim?

Num 14:4

Num 14:4They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Mitzrayim.

Num 14:5

Num 14:5Then Moshe and Aharon fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Yisra'el.

Num 14:6

Num 14:6Yehoshua the son of Nun and Kalev the son of Yefunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:

Num 14:7

Num 14:7and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.

Num 14:8

Num 14:8If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

Num 14:9

Num 14:9Only don't rebel against the LORD, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us: don't fear them.

Num 14:10

Num 14:10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. The glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Yisra'el.

Moses Pleads for the People

Num 14:11

Num 14:11The LORD said to Moshe, 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?

Num 14:12

Num 14:12I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.

Num 14:13

Num 14:13Moshe said to the LORD, Then the Mitzrim will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;

Num 14:14

Num 14:14and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you LORD are in the midst of this people; for you LORD 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.

Num 14:15

Num 14:15Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

Num 14:16

Num 14:16Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

Num 14:17

Num 14:17Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,

Num 14:18

Num 14:18The LORD 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.

Num 14:19

Num 14:19Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your lovingkindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Mitzrayim even until now.

The LORD Pardons and Rebukes

Num 14:20

Num 14:20The LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:

Num 14:21

Num 14:21but in very deed, as I live, and as all the eretz shall be filled with the glory of the LORD;

Num 14:22

Num 14:22because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Mitzrayim and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;

Num 14:23

Num 14:23surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:

Num 14:24

Num 14:24but my servant Kalev, 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.

Num 14:25

Num 14:25Now the `Amaleki and the Kana`ani dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf.

Num 14:26

Num 14:26The LORD spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,

Num 14:27

Num 14:27How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Yisra'el, which they murmur against me.

Num 14:28

Num 14:28Tell them, As I live, says the LORD, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:

Num 14:29

Num 14:29your 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,

Num 14:30

Num 14:30surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Kalev the son of Yefunneh, and Yehoshua the son of Nun.

Num 14:31

Num 14:31But 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.

Num 14:32

Num 14:32But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

Num 14:33

Num 14:33Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.

Num 14:34

Num 14:34After 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.

Num 14:35

Num 14:35I, the LORD, 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.

Num 14:36

Num 14:36The men, whom Moshe 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,

Num 14:37

Num 14:37even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

Num 14:38

Num 14:38But Yehoshua the son of Nun, and Kalev the son of Yefunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

Israel Repulsed

(Deu 1:41–45 )

Num 14:39

Num 14:39Moshe told these words to all the children of Yisra'el: and the people mourned greatly.

Num 14:40

Num 14:40They 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 the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.

Num 14:41

Num 14:41Moshe said, Why now do you disobey the mitzvah of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper?

Num 14:42

Num 14:42Don't go up, for the LORD isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.

Num 14:43

Num 14:43For there the `Amaleki and the Kana`ani are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

Num 14:44

Num 14:44But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moshe, didn't depart out of the camp.

Num 14:45

Num 14:45Then the `Amaleki came down, and the Kana`ani who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
