14,26 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: 14,27 'How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that keep murmuring against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they keep murmuring against Me. 14,28 Say unto them: As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you: 14,29 your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, ye that have murmured against Me; 14,30 surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up My hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 14,31 But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected. 14,32 But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness. 14,33 And your children shall be wanderers in the
wilderness forty years, and shall bear your strayings, until your carcasses be consumed in the wilderness. 14,34 After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know My displeasure. 14,35 I the LORD have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against Me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.' 14,36 And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who, when they returned, made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, 14,37 even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD. 14,38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land. 14,39 And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel;
and the people mourned greatly. 14,40 And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying: 'Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised; for we have sinned.' 14,41 And Moses said: 'Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper? 14,42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies. 14,43 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; forasmuch as ye are turned back from following the LORD, and the LORD will not be with you.' 14,44 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain; nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 14,45 Then the Amalekite and the Canaanite, who dwelt in that hill-country, came down, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah. {P}
15,1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 15,2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 15,3 and will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or as a freewill-offering, or in your appointed seasons, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock; 15,4 then shall he that bringeth his offering present unto the LORD a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil; 15,5 and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. 15,6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil; 15,7 and for the drink-offering thou shalt present the third part of a hin
of wine, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
