Numbers 14:41 Context
39And Moses told these sayings vnto all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly. 40¶ And they rose vp early in the morning, and gate them vp into the top of the mountaine, saying, Loe, we be here, and will goe vp vnto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we haue sinned. 41And Moses said, Wherefore now doe you transgresse the commaundement of the Lord ? but it shall not prosper. 42Goe not vp, for the Lord is not among you, that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 43For the Amalekites, and the Canaanites are there before you, and yee shall fall by the sword, because yee are turned away from the Lord; therefore the Lord will not bee with you.
