MLV(i)
40 And they rose up early in the morning and got up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here and will go up to the place which Jehovah has promised, for we have sinned.
41 And Moses said, Why do you* now transgress the commandment of Jehovah, seeing it will not prosper?
42 Do not go up, for Jehovah is not among you*, that you* are not struck down before your* enemies.
43 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you* and you* will fall by the sword. Because you* have turned back from following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with you*.
44 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain, nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses, did not depart out of the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites came down and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain and killed* them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
