Rotherham(i)
14 But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.
15 So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16 And they became jealous of Moses in the camp,––of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;
17 The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;
18 Then was kindled a fire in their assembly,––a flame, consumed the lawless ones.
19 They made a calf in Horeb,––and bowed down to a molten image;
20 Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21 They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:
22 Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.
23 Then would he have bidden to destroy them,––had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.
24 And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;
25 But murmured in their tents,––They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.
26 So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;
27 And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.
28 Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal–peor,––and did eat sacrifices to the dead:
29 So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:
31 So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.
32 And they provoked by the waters of Meribah,––And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;
33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.
