Numbers 14:40-45 and rising early the next morning they went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, here we are, we will go up to the place which the Lord hath said, for we have sinned.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁰ and rising early the next morning they went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, here we are, we will go up to the place which the Lord hath said, for we have sinned. ⁴¹ Though Moses said, Why do you transgress the command of the Lord? Things will not prosper with you. ⁴² Do not go up, for the Lord is not with you. You will therefore fall before the face of your enemies. ⁴³ Because the Amalekites and the Chananites are there before you, you will therefore fall by the sword. Because you have turned back, and disobeyed the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be among you. ⁴⁴ Notwithstanding this, they obstinately went up to the top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp. ⁴⁵ And the Amalekites and the Chananites, who were in ambush on the mountain, came down, and drove them back, and smote them even to Ermon. So they returned to the camp.
