Numbers 14:40-44 So they arose early in the morning, and went up into the top of the mountain, saying,––We are here––therefore will we go up into the place as to which Yahweh hath said, that we have sinned.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁰ So they arose early in the morning, and went up into the top of the mountain, saying,––We are here––therefore will we go up into the place as to which Yahweh hath said, that we have sinned. ⁴¹ But Moses said, Wherefore is it that, ye, are going beyond the bidding of Yahweh,––since, that, cannot prosper? ⁴² Do not go up, For Yahweh is not in your midst,––Lest ye be smitten down before your enemies. ⁴³ For, the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are there before you, So shall ye fall by the sword,––For, inasmuch as ye have turned back from following Yahweh, Therefore will Yahweh not be with you. ⁴⁴ But they presumptuously ascended into the top of the mountain,––though, neither the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, nor Moses, moved out of the midst of the camp.
