Numbers 14:40-44 Early the next morning they headed into the mountains. They said: "We have sinned. Now we will go to the place the LORD promised."

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁰ Early the next morning they headed into the mountains. They said: "We have sinned. Now we will go to the place the LORD promised." ⁴¹ Moses asked: "Why are you disobeying the LORD's command? Your plan will not work! ⁴² Do not go up, for the LORD is not among you; do not be smitten before your enemies. ⁴³ »The Amalekites and Canaanites are there. You will die in battle. Now that you have turned away from the LORD, he will 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 the LORD, and Moses, were not removed from within the camp.
