¹⁶ For some, when they heard, rebelled: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt under Moses.

For there is wrath gone out from the LORD, and there is a plague begun." ⁴⁷ And Aaron took as Moses commanded him, and ran unto the congregation: and behold, the plague was begun among the people, and he put on cense, and made an atonement for the people. ⁴⁸ And he stood between the dead, and them that were alive, and the plague ceased. ⁴⁹ And the number of them that died in the plague, were fourteen thousand and seven hundred: beside them that died about the business of Korah.

⁹ And there died in the plague twenty four thousand.

¹ And the LORD was wroth again against Israel, and stirred up David against them, saying, "Go and number both Israel and Judah."

¹² "Go and say unto David, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: I offer thee three things, choose which of them I shall do to thee.'" ¹³ And Gad came to David and showed him and said unto him, "Whether wilt thou have seven years hunger in thy land, or that thou flee three months before thine enemies and they following thee, or that there be three days pestilence in thy land? Now understand, and see what word I shall bring again to him that sent me." ¹⁴ Then said David unto Gad, "I am in a marvelous strait. But let me fall I pray thee, into the hands of the LORD, for much is his mercy, and let me not fall into the hands of men. ¹⁵ And the LORD sent a pestilence in Israel from the morning unto the end of the time appointed. And there died of the people between Dan and Beersheba seventy thousand men.

¹¹ Then Moses besought the LORD his God and said, "O LORD, why should thy wrath wax hot upon thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? ¹² Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, 'For a mischief did he bring them out: even for to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth.' Turn from thy fierce wrath, and have compassion over the wickedness of thy people. ¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self and saidest unto them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land which I have said, I will give unto your seed: and they shall inherit it forever.'" ¹⁴ And the LORD refrained himself from that evil, which he said he would do unto his people.

²⁶ But I made intercession unto the LORD and said, 'O Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance which thou hast delivered through thy greatness and which thou hast brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. ²⁷ Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and look not unto the stubbornness of this people nor unto their wickedness and sin: ²⁸ lest the land whence thou broughtest them say: Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them and because he hated them, therefore he carried them out to destroy them in the wilderness.

²⁷ were it not that I feared the railing of their enemies — lest their adversaries would be proud and say: Our high hand hath done all these works, and not the LORD.

⁸ Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies? ⁹ Moreover, the Canaanites, and all the inhabiters of the land shall hear of it, and shall come about us and destroy the name of us out of the world. And then what wilt thou do unto thy mighty name?"

²³ So he said he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in that gap; to turn away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.

⁹ But I would not do it, for my name's sake: that it should not be unhallowed before the Heathen, among whom they dwelt, and among whom I showed myself unto them, that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ Yet I would not do it, for my name's sake: lest it should be dishonored before the Heathen, from the which I had carried them away.

³⁰ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, "for I have seen God face to face, and yet is my life reserved."

²¹ And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way: and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light: that they might go both by day and night. ²² And the pillar of the cloud never departed by day nor the pillar of fire by night out of the people's sight.

¹⁴ The nations heard, and were afraid. Pangs came upon the Philistines.

¹¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And when Moses turned again in to the host, the lad Joshua, his servant, the son of Nun, departed not out of the tabernacle.

³⁸ for the cloud of the LORD was upon the habitation by day, and fire by night: in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

¹⁵ And the same day that the habitation was reared up, a cloud covered it on high upon the tabernacle of witness: and at even there was upon the habitation, as it were the similitude of fire until the morning. ¹⁶ And so it was always, that the cloud covered it by day, and the similitude of fire by night. ¹⁷ And when the cloud was taken up from of the tabernacle, then the children of Israel journeyed: and where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. ¹⁸ At the mouth of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the mouth of the LORD they pitched. And as long as the cloud abode upon the habitation, they lay still, ¹⁹ and when the cloud tarried still upon the habitation a long time, the children of Israel waited upon the LORD and journeyed not. ²⁰ If it chanced that the cloud abode any space of time upon the habitation, then they kept their tents at the mouth of the LORD: and they journeyed also at the commandment of the LORD. ²¹ And if it happened that the cloud was upon the habitation from evening unto morning and was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

³⁴ And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they went out of the tents.

⁸ Unto him I speak mouth to mouth and he seeth the sight and the fashion of the LORD, and not through riddles. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

⁴ The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the fire.

¹⁰ But there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face;

⁹ and said unto the men, "I know that the LORD hath given you the land, both because that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and because that the inhabiters of the land faint at your coming. ¹⁰ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the reed sea before you, when you came out of Egypt, and what you did unto the two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan; Sihon, and Og, which ye utterly destroyed.

¹ And when all the kings of the Amorites which dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Cananites which lie on the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the water of Jordan before the children of Israel, until they were over, their hearts fainted in them. And there was no spirit in them any more, for fear of the coming of the children of Israel.

¹² and leddest them in the daytime in a cloudy pillar; and on the night season in a pillar of fire, to show them light in the way that they went.

¹⁹ yet thou forsookest them not in the wilderness, according to thy great mercy. And the cloudy pillar departed not from them in the daytime to lead them the way, neither the pillar of fire in the night season, to show them light in the way that they went.

¹⁴ In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night through with a light of fire.

³⁹ He spread out a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night season.

¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten son, which is in the father's bosom, hath declared him.

⁹ Jesus said unto him, "Have I been so long time with you: and yet hast thou not known me? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father. And how sayest thou then, Show us the father?

¹² Now we see in a glass, even in a dark speaking: but then shall we see face to face. Now I know unperfectly: but then shall I know even as I am known.

² Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God, and yet it doth not appear what we shall be. But we know that when it shall appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is.

¹⁶ But then the LORD said unto him, "I will be with thee: and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as they were but one man."

²⁸ lest the land whence thou broughtest them say: Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them and because he hated them, therefore he carried them out to destroy them in the wilderness.

²⁶ I have determined to scatter them throughout the world, and to make away the remembrance of them from among men, ²⁷ were it not that I feared the railing of their enemies — lest their adversaries would be proud and say: Our high hand hath done all these works, and not the LORD.

⁷ And Joshua said, "Ah, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? Would to God we had adventured and dwelt on the other side Jordan.

⁹ Moreover, the Canaanites, and all the inhabiters of the land shall hear of it, and shall come about us and destroy the name of us out of the world. And then what wilt thou do unto thy mighty name?"

⁸ As for me, I am full of strength, and of the spirit of the LORD; full of judgment and boldness, to show the house of Jacob their wickedness, and the house of Israel their sin.

⁶ That ye may know that the son of man hath power to forgive sins in earth" — then said he unto the sick of the palsy - "Arise, take up thy bed, and go home to thine house."

⁸ And when the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, which had given such power to men.

⁵ See that thou neither bow thyself unto them neither serve them: for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, and visit the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

⁶ And when the LORD walked before him, he cried, "LORD, LORD God full of compassion and mercy, which art not lightly angry but abundant in mercy and truth, ⁷ and keepest mercy in store for thousands, and forgivest wickedness, trespass and sin — for there is no man innocent before thee — and visitest the wickedness of the fathers upon the children and upon children's children, even unto the third and fourth generation."

⁹ Thou shalt neither bow thyself unto them nor serve them, for I the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children, even in the third and the fourth generation, among them that hate me:

⁸ The LORD is full of compassion and mercy; longsuffering, and of great goodness.

⁸ The LORD is gracious and merciful, long-suffering and of great goodness.

² Wherefore, this is the commandment of the LORD God of Israel, unto the shepherds that feed my people, "Ye scatter and thrust out my flock, and look not upon them. Therefore now will I visit the wickedness of your imaginations, sayeth the LORD:

² And he prayed unto the LORD and said, "O LORD, was not this my saying when I was yet in my country? And therefore I hasted rather to flee to Tarshish: for I knew well enough that thou wast a merciful god, full of compassion long before thou be angry, and of great mercy and repentest when thou art come to take punishment.

¹⁸ Where is there such a God as thou? That pardonest wickedness, and forgivest the offenses of the remnant of thine heritage? He keepeth not his wrath for ever. And why? His delight is to have compassion.

² The LORD is a jealous God, and a taker of vengeance: yea, a taker of vengeance is the LORD, and wrathful. The LORD taketh vengeance of his enemies, and reserveth displeasure for his adversaries. ³ The LORD suffereth long, he is of great power, and so innocent that he leaveth no man faultless before him. The LORD goeth forth in tempest and stormy weather; the clouds are the dust of his feet.

²⁴ but are justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus ²⁵ — whom God hath set forth for a mercy seat through faith in his blood, to show the righteousness which before him is of valour, in that he forgiveth the sins that are passed, ²⁶ which God did suffer to show at this time: the righteousness that is allowed of him, that he might be counted just, and a justifier of him which believeth on Jesus.

²¹ That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

⁷ By whom we have redemption through his blood, that is to say, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which grace he shed on us abundantly in all wisdom, and prudence.

¹⁰ and now therefore suffer me that my wrath may wax hot upon them, and that I may consume them: and then will I make of thee a mighty people."

³² Yet forgive them their sin, I pray thee: If not, wipe me out of thy book which thou hast written."

¹⁷ And the LORD said unto Moses, "I will do this also that thou hast said, for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name."

⁹ and said, "If I have found grace in thy sight O Lord, then let my Lord go with us — for it is a stubborn people. And have mercy upon our wickedness and our sin, and let us be thine inheritance."

³⁴ Then hear thou up to heaven and be merciful unto the sin of thy people Israel, and bring thee again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

¹ {To the chanter, a Psalm of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he was gone in to Bathsheba} Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness; according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences. ² Wash me well from my wickedness, and cleanse me from my sin.

³⁸ But he was so merciful, that he forgave their misdeeds, and destroyed them not. Yea, many a time turned he his wrath away, and would not suffer his whole displeasure to arise.

⁷ Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness in remembrance, but were disobedient at the sea, even at the reed sea. ⁸ Nevertheless, he helped them for his name's sake, that he might make his power to be known.

⁷ Let the ungodly man forsake his ways and the unrighteous his imaginations, and turn again unto the LORD: so shall he be merciful unto him; and to our God, for he is ready to forgive.

⁸ But they rebelled against me, and would not follow me: to cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and to forsake the Idols of Egypt. Then I made me to pour my indignation over them, and to satisfy my wrath upon them: Yea, even in the midst of the land of Egypt. ⁹ But I would not do it, for my name's sake: that it should not be unhallowed before the Heathen, among whom they dwelt, and among whom I showed myself unto them, that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁹ O Lord, hear; O forgive Lord; O Lord consider, tarry not over long: but for thine own sake do it. O my God: for thy city and thy people is called after thy name."

¹⁰ And when God saw their works, how they turned from their wicked ways, he repented on the evil which he said he would do unto them, and did it not.

⁴ But after that the kindness and love of our saviour God to man ward appeared, ⁵ not of the deeds of righteousness which we wrought, but of his mercy, he saved us, by the fountain of the new birth, and with the renewing of the holy ghost, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our saviour; ⁷ that we, once justified by his grace, should be heirs of eternal life, through hope.

¹⁵ and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have in him: that if we ask ought, according to his will, he heareth us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hear us whatsoever we ask, we know that we shall have the petitions that we desire of him. ¹⁶ If any man see his brother sin a sin that is not to death, let him ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death, for which say I not that a man should pray.

¹⁸ Where is there such a God as thou? That pardonest wickedness, and forgivest the offenses of the remnant of thine heritage? He keepeth not his wrath for ever. And why? His delight is to have compassion. ¹⁹ He shall turn again, and be merciful to us: he shall put down our wickednesses, and cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea. ²⁰ Thou shalt keep thy trust with Jacob, and thy mercy for Abraham, like as thou hast sworn unto our fathers long ago.

¹⁶ Knowledge your faults one to another: and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man availeth much, if it be fervent.

⁴⁰ For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and will say: I live ever.

¹⁹ And blessed be the name of his majesty forever; and all the lands be fulfilled with his glory. Amen, Amen.

³ They cried also each one to other on this manner: "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts! The whole world is full of his glory!"

¹⁸ Lift up thine eyes, and look about thee: all these shall gather them together, and come to thee. As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD, thou shalt put them all upon thee as an apparel, and gird them to thee, as an bride doth her jewels.

²⁴ As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD, Though Jechoniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet of my right hand, yet will I pluck him off:

¹¹ Wherefore as truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, seeing thou hast defiled my Sanctuary with all manner of abominations and with all thy shameful offenses: For this cause will I also destroy thee. Mine eye shall not oversee thee, neither will I spare thee.

³ As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, ye shall use this byword no more in Israel.

¹¹ Tell them, 'As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but much rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn you, turn you from your ungodly ways, O ye of the house of Israel. Oh, wherefore will ye die?'

²⁷ Say thou these words unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: As truly as I live, all ye that dwell in this wilderness, shall be slain with the sword. Whatsoever is upon the field, will I give unto the beasts to be devoured: those that be in strongholds and dens, shall die of the pestilence.

¹⁴ For the earth shall be full of knowledge of the LORD's honour, like as the waters that cover the sea.

⁹ Therefore as truly as I live, sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodom, and Ammon as Gomorrah: even dry thorn hedges, salt pits and perpetual wilderness. The residue of my folk shall spoil them, the remnant of my people shall have them in possession.

¹⁰ Let thy kingdom come. Thy will be fulfilled, as well in earth, as it is in heaven.

⁷ And your father hath deceived me and changed my wages ten times: But God suffered him not to hurt me.

⁴¹ Thus have I been twenty years in thy house, and served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy sheep, and thou hast changed my reward ten times.

¹¹ Then said they unto Moses, "Were there no graves for us in Egypt, but thou must bring us away for to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou served us thus, for to carry us out of Egypt?

² And the people chode with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." And Moses said unto them, "Why chide ye with me, and wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?"

¹ And when the people saw that it was long or Moses came down out of the mountain, they gathered themselves together and came unto Aaron and said unto him, "Up, and make us a god to go before us: for of this Moses, the fellow that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become."

¹¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have showed among them?

³¹ and in the wilderness: as thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee as a man should bear his son, throughout all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.' ³² And yet for all this saying ye did not believe the LORD your God, ³³ which goeth the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents in; in fire by night — that ye might see what way to go — and in a cloud by day. ³⁴ And the LORD heard the voice of your words and was wroth and swore saying, ³⁵ 'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers,

³ Lo, ten times have ye reproved me: are ye not ashamed, for to laugh me to scorn?

⁹ when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works. ¹⁰ Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, and said, "They ever err in their hearts, they verily have not known my ways." ¹¹ Therefore I said unto them in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.

¹⁴ A lust came upon them in the wilderness, so that they tempted God in the desert.

²⁶ Then lift he up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,

¹⁵ Therefore may we say, that the proud are happy, and that they which deal with ungodliness, are set up: for they tempt God and yet escape.'

⁷ And Jesus said to him, "It is written also, 'Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God.'"

⁵ But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents.

⁹ where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long.

¹⁷ But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned: whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? ¹⁸ To whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but unto them that believed not?

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of the number of the children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of Sinai.

¹¹ 'None of the men that came out of Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not continually followed me:

³⁵ 'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers, ³⁶ save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he hath walked in and to his children, because he hath continually followed the LORD.' ³⁷ Likewise the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, 'Thou also shalt not go in thither. ³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore, for he shall divide it unto Israel. ³⁹ Moreover, your children, which ye said should be a prey; and your sons, which know neither good nor bad this day; they shall go in thither and unto them I will give it, and they shall enjoy it. ⁴⁰ But as for you, turn back and take your journey into the wilderness: even the way to the reed sea.' ⁴¹ Then ye answered and said unto me, 'We have sinned against the LORD: we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.' And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war and were ready to go up into the hills, ⁴² the LORD said unto me, 'Say unto them: see that ye go not up and that ye fight not, for I am not among you: lest ye be plagued before your enemies.' ⁴³ And when I told you, ye would not hear: but disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hills. ⁴⁴ Then the Amorites, which dwelt in those hills, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and hewed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. ⁴⁵ And ye came again and wept before the LORD: but the LORD would not hear your voice nor give you audience.

²³ And their children multipliedest thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land whereof thou hadst spoken unto their fathers, that they should go in to it, and have it in possession.

¹¹ Therefore I said unto them in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.

¹⁵ But I swore unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land, which I gave them: a land that floweth with milk and honey, and is a pleasure of all lands.

³ But we which have believed, do enter into his rest, as contrariwise he said to the other, "As I have sworn in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest.'" And that spake he verily long after that the works were made, and the foundation of the world laid.

⁶ And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes ⁷ and spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good land. ⁸ If the LORD have lust to us, he will bring us into this land and give it us, which is a land that floweth with milk and honey. ⁹ But in any wise, rebel not against the LORD. Moreover fear ye not the people of the land, for they are but bread for us. Their shield is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not therefore."

⁶⁵ For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹¹ 'None of the men that came out of Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not continually followed me: ¹² save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed me continually.'

³⁶ save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he hath walked in and to his children, because he hath continually followed the LORD.'

⁵ And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul and with all thy might.

⁶ And the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, "Thou knowest what the LORD said unto Moses the man of God, about me and thee in Kadesh Barnea. ⁷ Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I brought them word again even as I thought in mine heart. ⁸ Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me discouraged the hearts of the people. But I followed the LORD my God even unto the end. ⁹ And Moses sware the same season saying, 'The land whereon thy feet have trodden, shall be thine inheritance and thy children forever because thou hast followed the LORD my God continually.' ¹⁰ And now behold, the LORD hath kept me lusty, as he said, this forty and five years, even since the LORD spake unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness. And now see I am this day four score and five years: ¹¹ and yet am as strong at this time, as I was when Moses sent me: look how strong I was then, so strong I am now, to war and to do all manner of things. ¹² Now, therefore, give me this mountain which the LORD at that time promised, for thou heardest at the time, how the Anakims were there, and how the cities were great and walled. I trust the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the LORD said." ¹³ And Joshua blessed Caleb the son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron to inherit. ¹⁴ And Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day: because he followed the LORD God of Israel perpetually.

⁹ And the people rejoiced that they were so willing: for with a pure heart they were willing unto the LORD. And thereto David the king rejoiced with great gladness.

¹⁸ O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their hearts unto thee.

² And he did that pleased the LORD: but not with the whole heart.

⁸⁰ O let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

¹⁴⁵ {Kuf} I call with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD. I will keep thy statutes.

²⁶ My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes have pleasure in my ways.

²³ Which when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad: and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would continually cleave unto the Lord.

⁶ not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

²³ And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as though ye did it to the Lord, and not unto men,

²⁹ The Amalekites dwell in the south country, and the Hittites, Jebusites and the Amorites dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along by the coast of Jordan."

⁴ And they said, one to another, "Let us make a captain and return unto Egypt again."

⁴⁰ But as for you, turn back and take your journey into the wilderness: even the way to the reed sea.'

¹¹ But my people would not hear my voice; and Israel would not obey me. ¹² So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust, and let them follow their own imaginations. ¹³ O that my people would obey me! For if Israel would walk in my ways,

³¹ Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and be filled with their own counsels:

¹² "I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, tell them therefore and say that at evening they shall eat flesh, and in the morning they shall be filled with bread, and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God."

⁷ And Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Arise and be not afraid."

² and all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregation said unto them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt, either we would that we had died in this wilderness.

²¹ But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with my glory.

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of the number of the children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

³⁵ 'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers,

⁸ Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. ⁹ For when thou art angry, all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

¹⁷ But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned: whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

⁴⁵ And all the numbers of the children of Israel, in the houses of their fathers, from twenty years and above, whatsoever was mete for the war in Israel,

³² and your carcases shall lie in this wilderness. ³³ And your children shall wander in this wilderness forty years and suffer for your whoredom until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness,

⁵ My mind is therefore to put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once know this, how that the Lord — after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt — destroyed them which afterward believed not:

²² And Abram answered the king of Sodom, "I lift up my hand unto the LORD God most high, possessor of heaven and earth,

¹² save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed me continually.'

³⁶ save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he hath walked in and to his children, because he hath continually followed the LORD.' ³⁷ Likewise the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, 'Thou also shalt not go in thither. ³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore, for he shall divide it unto Israel.

³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of red rice. And he ate and drank and rose up and went his way. And so Esau regarded not his birthright.

³ Wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall upon the sword, that both our wives, and also our children should be a prey? Is it not better that we return unto Egypt again?"

⁶ And of Hezron, cometh the kindred of the Hezronites; and of Carmi, cometh the kindred of the Carmites.

³⁹ Moreover, your children, which ye said should be a prey; and your sons, which know neither good nor bad this day; they shall go in thither and unto them I will give it, and they shall enjoy it.

²⁵ but all my counsels have ye despised and set my corrections to naught.

³⁰ but abhorred my counsel, and despised my correction.

⁵ But they made light of it, and went their ways: one to his firm place, another about his merchandise:

⁴¹ 'Behold ye despisers, and wonder, and perish ye: for I do a work in your days, which ye shall not believe, if a man would declare it you.'"

¹⁶ and that there be no fornicator, or unclean person, as Esau, which for one breakfast sold his birthright. ¹⁷ Ye know how that afterward when that he would have inherited the blessing, he was put by, and he found no means to come thereby again: no, though he desired it with tears.

²⁹ Your carcasses shall lie in this wilderness, neither shall any of these numbers which were numbered from twenty years and above of you which have murmured against me

³¹ and the man shall be guiltless, and the wife shall bear her sin."

¹³ And the LORD was angry with Israel, and made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD were consumed.

³⁸ And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD and died there, even in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the first day of the fifth month.

³ And it fortuned, the first day of the eleventh month in the fortieth year, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them,

¹⁴ The space in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we were come over the river Zered was thirty eight years: until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out of the host, as the LORD sware unto them.

¹⁰ And now behold, the LORD hath kept me lusty, as he said, this forty and five years, even since the LORD spake unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness. And now see I am this day four score and five years:

⁴ They went astray in the wilderness in an untrodden way, and found no city to dwell in.

⁴⁰ though he suffer them to be evil-entreated through tyrants, or let them wander out of the way in the wilderness,

¹ Commonly, when a man putteth away his wife, and she goeth from him, and marrieth with another, then the question is: should he resort unto her any more after that? Is not this field then defiled and unclean? But as for thee, thou hast played the harlot with many lovers, yet turn again to me, sayeth the LORD. ² Lift up thine eyes on every side, and look, if thou be not defiled. Thou hast waited for them in the streets, and as a murderer in the wilderness. through thy whoredoms and shameful blasphemies, is the land defiled.

³⁵ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Forsomuch as thou hast forgotten me, and cast me aside, so bear now thy own filthiness and whoredom."

⁴⁵ O ye all that love virtue and righteousness, judge them! Punish them as adulterers and murderers ought to be judged and punished. For they are breakers of wedlock, and the blood is in their hands. ⁴⁶ Wherefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Bring a great multitude of people upon them, and make them be scattered and spoiled: ⁴⁷ these shall stone them and gore them with their swords. They shall slay their sons and daughters and burn up their houses with fire. ⁴⁸ Thus will I destroy all such filthiness out of the land, that all women may learn not to do after your uncleanness. ⁴⁹ And so they shall lay your filthiness upon your own selves, and ye shall be punished for the sins that ye have committed with your Idols: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."

¹ Do not thou triumph, O Israel; make no boasting more than the Heathen. For thou hast committed adultery against thy God: strange rewards hast thou loved, more than all the corn floors.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy mother's sister nor of thy father's sisters, for he that doth so, uncovereth his next kin: and they shall bear their misdoing.

²⁵ And they turned back again from searching the land, at forty days' end.

²³ And the Levites shall do the service in the tabernacle of witness and bear their sin, and it shall be a law forever unto your children after you: But among the children of Israel they shall inherit none inheritance.

¹⁶ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, thou must sleep with thy fathers, and this people will go a whoring after strange gods of the land whither they go and will forsake me and break the covenant which I have made with them. ¹⁷ And then my wrath will wax hot against them, and I will forsake them and will hide my face from them, and they shall be consumed. And when much adversity and tribulation is come upon them, then they will say, 'Because our God is not among us,

³⁰ Wherefore the LORD God of Israel sayeth, 'I said that thine house and the house of thy father should have walked before me forever. But now the LORD sayeth that be far from me: for them that honoureth me I will honour, and they that despise me, shall not be regarded.

⁵⁶ "Blessed be the LORD that hath given rest unto his people Israel according to all that he promised: so that there is not one word escaped of all the good promises which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

²¹ to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had her pleasure of her Sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate, she kept Sabbath until she had fulfilled seventy years.

⁴ For my wickednesses are gone over my head, and are like a sore burden, too heavy for me to bear.

⁸ Is his mercy clean gone? Is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?

¹⁰ Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, and said, "They ever err in their hearts, they verily have not known my ways."

⁴² For why? He remembered his holy promise which he had made to Abraham his servant.

⁹ Again. When I take in hand, to build, or to plant a people or a kingdom: ¹⁰ if the same people do evil before me, and hear not my voice: Immediately, I repent of the good, that I devised to do for them.

³¹ {Khaf} For the LORD will not forsake forever. ³² But though he do cast off, yet according to the multitude of his mercies, he receiveth to grace again. ³³ For he doth not plague, and cast out the children of men from his heart.

⁶ When thou hast fulfilled these days, lie down again, and sleep upon thy right side forty days, and bear the sins of the house of Judah. A day for a year; a day, I say, for a year will I ever lay upon thee.

¹⁰ and they both shall be punished for their wickedness. According to the sin of him that asketh, shall the sin of the Prophet be:

²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined over thy people, and over the holy city: that the wickedness may be consumed, that the sin may have an end, that the offense may be reconciled, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, to fulfill the visions and the Prophets, and to anoint the most holy one.

¹⁰ I took also my Loving Meek staff, and brake it, that I might disannul the covenant, which I made with all people.

¹ Let us fear, therefore, lest any of us forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, should seem to come behind.

³ "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

¹⁹ The Lord God is not a man, that he can lie; neither the son of a man, that he can repent! Should he say, and not do? Or should he speak, and not make it good?

¹¹ All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon.

¹⁹ And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

⁴ In the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. ⁵ In the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. ⁶ In the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. ⁷ In the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. ⁸ In the tribe of Ephraim, Hosea the son of Nun. ⁹ In the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. ¹⁰ In the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. ¹¹ In the tribe of Joseph, in the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. ¹² In the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. ¹³ In the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. ¹⁴ In the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. ¹⁵ In the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. ¹⁶ These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called the name of Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua.

³¹ But the men that went up with him said, "We be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." ³² And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched, unto the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we have gone through, to search it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabiters thereof, and the people that we saw in it are men of stature. ³³ And there we saw also giants, the children of Anak which are of the giants. And we seemed in our sight as it were grasshoppers and so we did in their sight."

¹² I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make of thee a greater nation and a mightier than they."

⁴⁹ And the number of them that died in the plague, were fourteen thousand and seven hundred: beside them that died about the business of Korah.

¹⁶ And therefore thus sayeth the LORD: behold, I will send thee out of the land, and within a year thou shalt die because thou hast falsely spoken against the LORD." ¹⁷ So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh Month.

³² therefore thus the LORD doth certify you: Behold, I will visit Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: so that none of his shall remain among this people, and none of them shall see the good, that I will do for this people, sayeth the LORD. For he hath preached falsely of the LORD."

⁶ And the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, "Thou knowest what the LORD said unto Moses the man of God, about me and thee in Kadesh Barnea. ⁷ Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I brought them word again even as I thought in mine heart. ⁸ Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me discouraged the hearts of the people. But I followed the LORD my God even unto the end. ⁹ And Moses sware the same season saying, 'The land whereon thy feet have trodden, shall be thine inheritance and thy children forever because thou hast followed the LORD my God continually.' ¹⁰ And now behold, the LORD hath kept me lusty, as he said, this forty and five years, even since the LORD spake unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness. And now see I am this day four score and five years:

⁴ And when the people heard this evil tidings, they sorrowed: and no man did put on his best raiment.

³ Foolishness maketh a man to go out of his way, and then is his heart impatient against the LORD.

¹⁶ Lord, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out their prayer while thy chastening was upon them.

¹² And the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

¹⁷ Ye know how that afterward when that he would have inherited the blessing, he was put by, and he found no means to come thereby again: no, though he desired it with tears.

⁴¹ Then ye answered and said unto me, 'We have sinned against the LORD: we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.' And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war and were ready to go up into the hills,

³ Among all things that come to pass under the Sun, this is a mystery, that it happeneth unto all alike. This is the cause also that the hearts of men are full of wickedness, and mad foolishness is in their hearts, as long as they live, until they die.

²¹ "Not all they that say unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth my father's will which is in heaven. ²² Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name have done many miracles?' ²³ And then will I knowledge unto them, that I never knew them: 'Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.'

¹¹ For ye shall have poor folk always with you: but me shall ye not have always. ¹² And in that she casted this ointment on my body, she did it to bury me, withal.

²⁵ When the good man of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, ye shall begin to stand without, and to knock at the door saying, 'Lord, Lord, open unto us.' And he shall answer and say unto you, 'I know you not whence ye are.'

²⁵ and also the Amalekites and Canaanites which dwell in the low countries. Tomorrow turn you and get you into the wilderness: even the way toward the reed sea."

²⁰ And the spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stepped up above the people and said to them, "Thus sayeth God: 'Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD? Ye shall therefore not prosper, but as ye have forsaken him, so shall he forsake you.'"

⁹ With the blast of God they perish, and with the breath of his anger are they consumed away.

³⁷ Yea, thou shalt go thy way from them, and smite thine hands together upon thy head. Because the LORD shall bring that confidence and hope of thine to naught, and thou shalt not prosper withal."

⁵ And Zedekiah shall be carried unto Babylon, and there shall he be, until the time that I visit him, sayeth the LORD. But if thou takest in hand to fight against the Chaldeans, thou shalt not prosper."

⁴² the LORD said unto me, 'Say unto them: see that ye go not up and that ye fight not, for I am not among you: lest ye be plagued before your enemies.'

⁸ Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?

¹² And therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They shall turn their backs before their enemies, because they be excommunicate. Neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you.

¹ {To the Chanter, an instruction of the sons of Korah} We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what thou hast done in their time of old. ² How thou hast driven out the Heathen with thy hand, and planted them in; how thou hast destroyed the nations and cast them out. ³ For they got not the land in possession through their own sword, neither was it their own arm that helped them — But thy righthand, thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. ⁴ Thou art my King, O God; send help unto Jacob. ⁵ Through thee will we overthrow our enemies, and in thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. ⁶ For I will not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that shall help me. ⁷ But it is thou that savest us from our enemies, and puttest them to confusion that hate us. ⁸ We make our boast of God all day long, and will praise thy Name forever. Selah. ⁹ But now thou art far off, and puttest us to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies. ¹⁰ Thou makest us to turn our backs upon our enemies, so that they which hate us spoil our goods. ¹¹ Thou lettest us be eaten up like sheep, and scatterest us among the Heathen.

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when no man followeth you.

²⁵ And the LORD shall plague thee before thine enemies: Thou shalt come out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them, and shalt be scattered among all the kingdoms of the earth.

²⁰ And she said, "The Philistines be upon thee, Samson." And he awoke out of his sleep and thought to go out as at other times before and shake himself, and knew not that the LORD was departed from him.

⁹ And thou, Solomon my son: know God thy father and serve him with a pure heart and lust of soul. For the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of thoughts. If thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee: But and if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.

¹² And though they bring up any, yet will I make them childless among men. Yea, woe shall come to them, when I depart from them.

³³ And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey to search out a resting place for them.

³⁰ "'And the soul that doth ought presumptuously, whether he be an Israelite or a stranger, the same hath despised the LORD. And that soul shall be destroyed from among his people,

⁶ And Moses sent them — a thousand of every tribe, with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest — to war, and the holy vessels and the trumpets to blow with, in his hand.

⁴³ And when I told you, ye would not hear: but disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hills.

³ And when the people were come into their tents, the elders of Israel said, "Wherefore hath the LORD beaten us this day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD, out of Shiloh unto us, and let it come among us and save us out of the hands of our enemies." ⁴ And the people sent to Shiloh, and fetched from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts which dwelleth between the Cherubims. And there were the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas with the ark of the covenant of God. ⁵ And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the host, all Israel shouted a mighty shout, so that the earth rang again. ⁶ When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout they said, "What meaneth the sound of this mighty shout in the host of the Hebrews?" And they understood how that the ark of the LORD was come into the host. ⁷ And the Philistines were afraid, when it was told how that God was come into the host and said, "Woe unto us, for it was never so before this. ⁸ Woe unto us, who shall deliver us out of the hand of this mighty God? This is the God that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness. ⁹ Be strong and quit yourselves like men, ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be men therefore and fight." ¹⁰ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was put to the worse and fled, every man into his tent. And there was a mighty great slaughter, so that there were overthrown of Israel, thirty thousand footmen. ¹¹ And the ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas were dead.

¹⁶ for he said, "The hand is on the seat of the LORD, that the LORD will have war with Amalek throughout all generations."

⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye will fall upon the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, and therefore the LORD will not be with you."

³ And the LORD heard the voice of Israel, and delivered them the Canaanites. And they destroyed both them and their cities, and called the place Hormah.

⁴⁴ Then the Amorites, which dwelt in those hills, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and hewed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

³⁰ How cometh it that one shall chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand of them to flight — except their rock had sold them, and because the LORD had delivered them.

⁵ And the men of Ai smote of them upon a thirty and six men, and chased them before the gates even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down. And the hearts of the people were discouraged and melted like water.

¹¹ Israel hath sinned and also transgressed my covenant, which I commanded them, and have taken of the excommunicate things, and have stolen and hid them, and also put them unto their own stuff: ¹² And therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They shall turn their backs before their enemies, because they be excommunicate. Neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you.

¹⁷ And Judah went and Simeon with him, and they slew the Cananites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it, and called the name of the city Hormah.
