Deuteronomy 1:41-44

CLV(i) 41 Then you answered and said to me:We have sinned against Yahweh our Elohim. We shall ascend, and we will fight according to all that Yahweh our Elohim has instructed us. So each man of you girded on his implements of war, and you thought it easy to ascend to the hill-country. 42 Yet Yahweh said to me:Say to them, You shall not ascend, and you shall not fight (since I am not among you), that you may not be stricken before your enemies. 43 So I spoke to you, yet you did not hearken; you defied the bidding of Yahweh and showed arrogance, and you ascended to the hill-country. 44 Yet the Amorite who was dwelling in that hill-country came forth to meet you; they pursued you just as bees do, and they pounded you in Seir as far as Hormah.
