Numbers 14:40-44 They rose early in the morning and went up to the summit of the hill-country, saying:Behold us, now we will go up to the place of which Yahweh spoke, for we have sinned.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁰ They rose early in the morning and went up to the summit of the hill-country, saying:Behold us, now we will go up to the place of which Yahweh spoke, for we have sinned. ⁴¹ Moses said:Why is this? You are trespassing the bidding of Yahweh, so this shall not prosper. ⁴² Do not go up since Yahweh is not among you so that you not be stricken before your enemies. ⁴³ For the Amalekite and the Canaanite are there before you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned back from following Yahweh, Yahweh shall not be with you. ⁴⁴ Yet they presumed to go up to the summit of the hill-country though the coffer of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, were not removed from within the camp.
