Israel’s Rebellion
1
Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה וַתִּשָּׂא֙ אֶת־ קוֹלָ֑ם וַֽיִּתְּנ֖וּ הַהֽוּא׃ בַּלַּ֥יְלָה הָעָ֖ם וַיִּבְכּ֥וּ kāl- hā·‘ê·ḏāh wat·tiś·śā ’eṯ- qō·w·lām way·yit·tə·nū ha·hū bal·lay·lāh hā·‘ām way·yiḇ·kū — WLC · 1
Καὶ ἀναλαβοῦσα πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐνέδωκεν φωνῇ, καὶ ἔκλαιεν ὁ λαὸς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην. — LXX Swete · 1
2
All the Israelites… grumbled against Moses… and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!

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· — LXX Swete · 2
3
Why is [[YHWH|the LORD]] bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
וְלָמָ֣ה יְ֠הוָה מֵבִ֨יא אֹתָ֜נוּ אֶל־ הַזֹּאת֙ הָאָ֤רֶץ לִנְפֹּ֣ל בַּחֶ֔רֶב נָשֵׁ֥ינוּ וְטַפֵּ֖נוּ יִהְי֣וּ לָבַ֑ז הֲל֧וֹא ט֦וֹב לָ֖נוּ שׁ֥וּב מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃ wə·lā·māh Yah·weh mê·ḇî ’ō·ṯā·nū ’el- haz·zōṯ hā·’ā·reṣ lin·pōl ba·ḥe·reḇ nā·šê·nū wə·ṭap·pê·nū yih·yū lā·ḇaz hă·lō·w ṭō·wḇ lā·nū šūḇ miṣ·rā·yə·māh — WLC · 3

So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”

5
Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation… of Israel.

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

7
and said to the whole congregation… of Israel…, “The land we passed through and explored [is] an exceedingly… good land.
וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֶל־ כָּל־ עֲדַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָבַ֤רְנוּ בָהּ֙ לָת֣וּר אֹתָ֔הּ מְאֹ֥ד מְאֹֽד׃ טוֹבָ֥ה הָאָ֖רֶץ way·yō·mə·rū ’el- kāl- ‘ă·ḏaṯ bə·nê- yiś·rā·’êl lê·mōr hā·’ā·reṣ ’ă·šer ‘ā·ḇar·nū ḇāh lā·ṯūr ’ō·ṯāh mə·’ōḏ mə·’ōḏ ṭō·w·ḇāh hā·’ā·reṣ — WLC · 7

8
If [[YHWH|the LORD]] delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land - flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
אִם־ יְהוָ֔ה חָפֵ֥ץ בָּ֙נוּ֙ וְהֵבִ֤יא אֹתָ֙נוּ֙ אֶל־ הַזֹּ֔את הָאָ֣רֶץ אֶ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ הִ֛וא זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ׃ וּנְתָנָ֖הּ לָ֑נוּ ’im- Yah·weh ḥā·p̄êṣ bā·nū wə·hê·ḇî ’ō·ṯā·nū ’el- haz·zōṯ hā·’ā·reṣ ’e·reṣ ’ă·šer- hî zā·ḇaṯ ḥā·lāḇ ū·ḏə·ḇāš ū·nə·ṯā·nāh lā·nū — WLC · 8

9
Only do not rebel… against [[YHWH|the LORD]], and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us… Their protection has been removed…, and [[YHWH|the LORD]] is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
אַ֣ךְ אַל־ תִּמְרֹדוּ֒ וְאַתֶּ֗ם בַּֽיהוָה֮ אַל־ תִּֽירְאוּ֙ אֶת־ עַ֣ם הָאָ֔רֶץ כִּ֥י לַחְמֵ֖נוּ הֵ֑ם צִלָּ֧ם סָ֣ר מֵעֲלֵיהֶ֛ם וַֽיהוָ֥ה אִתָּ֖נוּ אַל־ תִּירָאֻֽם׃ ’aḵ ’al- tim·rō·ḏū wə·’at·tem Yah·weh ’al- tî·rə·’ū ’eṯ- ‘am hā·’ā·reṣ kî laḥ·mê·nū hêm ṣil·lām sār mê·‘ă·lê·hem Yah·weh ’it·tā·nū ’al- tî·rā·’um — WLC · 9

10
But the whole congregation threatened to stone [Joshua and Caleb]. Then the glory of [[YHWH|the LORD]] appeared to all the Israelites… at the Tent of Meeting.
כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ לִרְגּ֥וֹם אֹתָ֖ם בָּאֲבָנִ֑ים וּכְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֗ה נִרְאָה֙ אֶֽל־ כָּל־ בְּנֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃פ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד kāl- hā·‘ê·ḏāh way·yō·mə·rū lir·gō·wm ’ō·ṯām bā·’ă·ḇā·nîm ū·ḵə·ḇō·wḏ Yah·weh nir·’āh ’el- kāl- bə·nê yiś·rā·’êl bə·’ō·hel mō·w·‘êḏ — WLC · 10

11
And [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Moses, “How long… will this people treat Me with contempt? How long… will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?

12
I will strike them with a plague and destroy them— and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”

Moses Intercedes for Israel
13
But Moses said to [[YHWH|the LORD]], “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
מֹשֶׁ֖ה וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֶל־ יְהוָ֑ה מִצְרַ֔יִם וְשָׁמְע֣וּ כִּֽי־ בְכֹחֲךָ֛ אֶת־ הֶעֱלִ֧יתָ הַזֶּ֖ה הָעָ֥ם מִקִּרְבּֽוֹ׃ mō·šeh way·yō·mer ’el- Yah·weh miṣ·ra·yim wə·šā·mə·‘ū kî- ḇə·ḵō·ḥă·ḵā ’eṯ- he·‘ĕ·lî·ṯā haz·zeh hā·‘ām miq·qir·bōw — WLC · 13

14
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, [that] Your cloud stands over them, and [that] You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame… will say,

‘Because [[YHWH|the LORD]] vvv was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’

17
So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared…:

‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means… leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third… and fourth [generation].’

God’s Forgiveness and Judgment

“I have pardoned them as you requested,” [[YHWH|the LORD]] replied.

23
not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None… of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.

But because My servant Caleb has… a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered,… and his descendants will inherit it.

Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.

28
So tell them…: As surely as I live, declares [[YHWH|the LORD]], I will do to you exactly… as I heard… you say.

29
Your bodies will fall in this wilderness— all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age… or older— because you have grumbled against Me.

Surely none of you will enter… the land in which I swore to settle you, except… Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected and they will enjoy it. -

As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.

Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer [for] your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.

In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years— a year for each day - -— and you will experience My alienation.

I, [[YHWH|the LORD]], have spoken, and I will surely… do these things to this entire wicked… congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness,… and there they will die.”

The Plague on the Ten Spies
36
So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—

37
those men who had brought out the bad report about the land— were struck down by a plague before [[YHWH|the LORD]].

38
Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.

39
And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites…, the people mourned bitterly.

The Defeat at Hormah
40
Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place [[YHWH|the LORD]] has promised.”

41
But Moses said, “Why… are you transgressing the commandment of [[YHWH|the LORD]]? This will not succeed!

42
Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because [[YHWH|the LORD]] is not among you.
אַֽל־ תַּעֲל֔וּ וְלֹא֙ תִּנָּ֣גְפ֔וּ לִפְנֵ֖י אֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃ כִּ֛י יְהוָ֖ה אֵ֥ין בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֑ם ’al- ta·‘ă·lū wə·lō tin·nā·ḡə·p̄ū lip̄·nê ’ō·yə·ḇê·ḵem kî Yah·weh ’ên bə·qir·bə·ḵem — WLC · 42
μὴ ἀναβαίνετε, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν, καὶ πεσεῖσθε πρὸ προσώπου τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν. — LXX Swete · 42
43
For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because… you have turned away from [[YHWH|the LORD]], [He] will not be with you.”

44
But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses [nor] the ark of the covenant of [[YHWH|the LORD]] moved from the camp.

45
Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
