|
- All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
- All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness!
- Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt?"
- They said one to another, "Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."
- Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
- Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:
- and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
- If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
- Only don't rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don't fear them."
- But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.
- Yahweh said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
- I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they."
- Moses said to Yahweh, "Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;
- and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
- Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
- 'Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.'
- Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
- 'Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.'
- Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."
- Yahweh said, "I have pardoned according to your word:
- but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh;
- because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
- surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:
- but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it.
- Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."
- Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
- "How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
- Tell them, 'As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
- your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
- surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
- But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
- But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
- Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.
- After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.'
- I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."
- The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
- even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh.
- But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
- Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
- They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, "Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned."
- Moses said, "Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, since it shall not prosper?
- Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
- For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you."
- But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp.
- Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.

- ותשא כל־העדה ויתנו את־קולם ויבכו העם בלילה ההוא׃
- וילנו על־משה ועל־אהרן כל בני ישראל ויאמרו אלהם כל־העדה לו־מתנו בארץ מצרים או במדבר הזה לו־מתנו׃
- ולמה יהוה מביא אתנו אל־הארץ הזאת לנפל בחרב נשינו וטפנו יהיו לבז הלוא טוב לנו שוב מצרימה׃
- ויאמרו איש אל־אחיו נתנה ראש ונשובה מצרימה׃
- ויפל משה ואהרן על־פניהם לפני כל־קהל עדת בני ישראל׃
- ויהושע בן־נון וכלב בן־יפנה מן־התרים את־הארץ קרעו בגדיהם׃
- ויאמרו אל־כל־עדת בני־ישראל לאמר הארץ אשר עברנו בה לתור אתה טובה הארץ מאד מאד׃
- אם־חפץ בנו יהוה והביא אתנו אל־הארץ הזאת ונתנה לנו ארץ אשר־הוא זבת חלב ודבש׃
- אך ביהוה אל־תמרדו ואתם אל־תיראו את־עם הארץ כי לחמנו הם סר צלם מעליהם ויהוה אתנו אל־תיראם׃
- ויאמרו כל־העדה לרגום אתם באבנים וכבוד יהוה נראה באהל מועד אל־כל־בני ישראל׃ ף
- ויאמר יהוה אל־משה עד־אנה ינאצני העם הזה ועד־אנה לא־יאמינו בי בכל האתות אשר עשיתי בקרבו׃
- אכנו בדבר ואורשנו ואעשה אתך לגוי־גדול ועצום ממנו׃
- ויאמר משה אל־יהוה ושמעו מצרים כי־העלית בכחך את־העם הזה מקרבו׃
- ואמרו אל־יושב הארץ הזאת שמעו כי־אתה יהוה בקרב העם הזה אשר־עין בעין נראה אתה יהוה ועננך עמד עלהם ובעמד עןן אתה הלך לפניהם יוםם ובעמוד אש לילה׃
- והמתה את־העם הזה כאיש אחד ואמרו הגוים אשר־שמעו את־שמעך לאמר׃
- מבלתי יכלת יהוה להביא את־העם הזה אל־הארץ אשר־נשבע להם וישחטם במדבר׃
- ועתה יגדל־נא כח אדני כאשר דברת לאמר׃
- יהוה ארך אפים ורב־חסד נשא עון ופשע ונקה לא ינקה פקד עון אבות על־בנים על־שלשים ועל־רבעים׃
- סלח־נא לעון העם הזה כגדל חסדך וכאשר נשאתה לעם הזה ממצרים ועד־הנה׃
- ויאמר יהוה סלחתי כדברך׃
- ואולם חי־אני וימלא כבוד־יהוה את־כל־הארץ׃
- כי כל־האנשים הראים את־כבדי ואת־אתתי אשר־עשיתי במצרים ובמדבר וינסו אתי זה עשר פעמים ולא שמעו בקולי׃
- אם־יראו את־הארץ אשר נשבעתי לאבתם וכל־מנאצי לא יראוה׃
- ועבדי כלב עקב היתה רוח אחרת עמו וימלא אחרי והביאתיו אל־הארץ אשר־בא שמה וזרעו יורשנה׃
- והעמלקי והכנעני יושב בעמק מחר פנו וסעו לכם המדבר דרך ים־סוף׃ ף
- וידבר יהוה אל־משה ואל־אהרן לאמר׃
- עד־מתי לעדה הרעה הזאת אשר המה מלינים עלי את־תלנות בני ישראל אשר המה מלינים עלי שמעתי׃
- אמר אלהם חי־אני נאם־יהוה אם־לא כאשר דברתם באזני כן אעשה לכם׃
- במדבר הזה יפלו פגריכם וכל־פקדיכם לכל־מספרכם מבן עשרים שנה ומעלה אשר הלינתם עלי׃
- אם־אתם תבאו אל־הארץ אשר נשאתי את־ידי לשכן אתכם בה כי אם־כלב בן־יפנה ויהושע בן־נון׃
- וטפכם אשר אמרתם לבז יהיה והביאתי אתם וידעו את־הארץ אשר מאסתם בה׃
- ופגריכם אתם יפלו במדבר הזה׃
- ובניכם יהיו רעים במדבר ארבעים שנה ונשאו את־זנותיכם עד־תם פגריכם במדבר׃
- במספר הימים אשר־תרתם את־הארץ ארבעים יום יום לשנה יום לשנה תשאו את־עונתיכם ארבעים שנה וידעתם את־תנואתי׃
- אני יהוה דברתי אם־לא זאת אעשה לכל־העדה הרעה הזאת הנועדים עלי במדבר הזה יתמו ושם ימתו׃
- והאנשים אשר־שלח משה לתור את־הארץ וישבו עליו את־כל־העדה להוציא דבה על־הארץ׃
- וימתו האנשים מוצאי דבת־הארץ רעה במגפה לפני יהוה׃
- ויהושע בן־נון וכלב בן־יפנה חיו מן־האנשים ההם ההלכים לתור את־הארץ׃
- וידבר משה את־הדברים האלה אל־כל־בני ישראל ויתאבלו העם מאד׃
- וישכמו בבקר ויעלו אל־ראש־ההר לאמר הננו ועלינו אל־המקום אשר־אמר יהוה כי חטאנו׃
- ויאמר משה למה זה אתם עברים את־פי יהוה והוא לא תצלח׃
- אל־תעלו כי אין יהוה בקרבכם ולא תנגפו לפני איביכם׃
- כי העמלקי והכנעני שם לפניכם ונפלתם בחרב כי־על־כן שבתם מאחרי יהוה ולא־יהיה יהוה עםכם׃
- ויעפלו לעלות אל־ראש ההר וארון ברית־יהוה ומשה לא־משו מקרב המחנה׃
- וירד העמלקי והכנעני הישב בהר ההוא ויכום ויכתום עד־החרמה׃ ף

| Numbers 14 Text (Latin)
|
- Igitur vociferans omnis turba flevit nocte illa,
- et murmurati sunt contra Moysen et Aaron cuncti filii Israël, dicentes :
- Utinam mortui essemus in Ægypto : et in hac vasta solitudine utinam pereamus, et non inducat nos Dominus in terram istam, ne cadamus gladio, et uxores ac liberi nostri ducantur captivi. Nonne melius est reverti in Ægyptum ?
- Dixeruntque alter ad alterum : Constituamus nobis ducem, et revertamur in Ægyptum.
- Quo audito, Moyses et Aaron ceciderunt proni in terram coram omni multitudine filiorum Israël.
- At vero Josue filius Nun et Caleb filius Jephone, qui et ipsi lustraverant terram, sciderunt vestimenta sua,
- et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israël locuti sunt : Terra, quam circuivimus, valde bona est.
- Si propitius fuerit Dominus, inducet nos in eam, et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem.
- Nolite rebelles esse contra Dominum : neque timeatis populum terræ hujus, quia sicut panem ita eos possumus devorare. Recessit ab eis omne præsidium : Dominus nobiscum est, nolite metuere.
- Cumque clamaret omnis multitudo, et lapidibus eos vellet opprimere, apparuit gloria Domini super tectum fœderis cunctis filiis Israël.
- Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen : Usquequo detrahet mihi populus iste ? quousque non credent mihi, in omnibus signis quæ feci coram eis ?
- Feriam igitur eos pestilentia, atque consumam : te autem faciam principem super gentem magnam, et fortiorem quam hæc est.
- Et ait Moyses ad Dominum : Ut audiant Ægyptii, de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum,
- et habitatores terræ hujus, qui audierunt quod tu, Domine, in populo isto sis, et facie videaris ad faciem, et nubes tua protegat illos, et in columna nubis præcedas eos per diem, et in columna ignis per noctem :
- quod occideris tantam multitudinem quasi unum hominem, et dicant :
- Non poterat introducere populum in terram pro qua juraverat : idcirco occidit eos in solitudine ?
- Magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut jurasti, dicens :
- Dominus patiens et multæ misericordiæ, auferens iniquitatem et scelera, nullumque innoxium derelinquens, qui visitas peccata patrum in filios in tertiam et quartam generationem.
- Dimitte, obsecro, peccatum populi hujus secundum magnitudinem misericordiæ tuæ, sicut propitius fuisti egredientibus de Ægypto usque ad locum istum.
- Dixitque Dominus : Dimisi juxta verbum tuum.
- Vivo ego : et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra.
- Attamen omnes homines qui viderunt majestatem meam, et signa quæ feci in Ægypto et in solitudine, et tentaverunt me jam per decem vices, nec obedierunt voci meæ,
- non videbunt terram pro qua juravi patribus eorum, nec quisquam ex illis qui detraxit mihi, intuebitur eam.
- Servum meum Caleb, qui plenus alio spiritu secutus est me, inducam in terram hanc, quam circuivit ; et semen ejus possidebit eam.
- Quoniam Amalecites et Chananæus habitant in vallibus. Cras movete castra, et revertimini in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri.
- Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens :
- Usquequo multitudo hæc pessima murmurat contra me ? querelas filiorum Israël audivi.
- Dic ergo eis : Vivo ego, ait Dominus : sicut locuti estis audiente me, sic faciam vobis.
- In solitudine hac jacebunt cadavera vestra. Omnes qui numerati estis a viginti annis et supra, et murmurastis contra me,
- non intrabitis terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut habitare vos facerem, præter Caleb filium Jephone, et Josue filium Nun.
- Parvulos autem vestros, de quibus dixistis quod prædæ hostibus forent, introducam, ut videant terram, quæ vobis displicuit.
- Vestra cadavera jacebunt in solitudine.
- Filii vestri erunt vagi in deserto annis quadraginta, et portabunt fornicationem vestram, donec consumantur cadavera patrum in deserto,
- juxta numerum quadraginta dierum, quibus considerastis terram : annus pro die imputabitur. Et quadraginta annis recipietis iniquitates vestras, et scietis ultionem meam :
- quoniam sicut locutus sum, ita faciam omni multitudini huic pessimæ, quæ consurrexit adversum me : in solitudine hac deficiet, et morietur.
- Igitur omnes viri, quos miserat Moyses ad contemplandam terram, et qui reversi murmurare fecerant contra eum omnem multitudinem, detrahentes terræ quod esset mala,
- mortui sunt atque percussi in conspectu Domini.
- Josue autem filius Nun, et Caleb filius Jephone, vixerunt ex omnibus qui perrexerant ad considerandam terram.
- Locutusque est Moyses universa verba hæc ad omnes filios Israël, et luxit populus nimis.
- Et ecce mane primo surgentes ascenderunt verticem montis, atque dixerunt : Parati sumus ascendere ad locum, de quo Dominus locutus est : quia peccavimus.
- Quibus Moyses : Cur, inquit, transgredimini verbum Domini, quod vobis non cedet in prosperum ?
- nolite ascendere : non enim est Dominus vobiscum : ne corruatis coram inimicis vestris.
- Amalecites et Chananæus ante vos sunt, quorum gladio corruetis, eo quod nolueritis acquiescere Domino : nec erit Dominus vobiscum.
- At illi contenebrati ascenderunt in verticem montis. Arca autem testamenti Domini et Moyses non recesserunt de castris.
- Descenditque Amalecites et Chananæus, qui habitabat in monte : et percutiens eos atque concidens, persecutus est eos usque Horma.

|
- And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
- And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
- And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
- And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
- Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
- And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
- And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
- If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
- Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
- But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
- And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
- I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
- And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
- And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
- Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
- Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
- And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
- The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
- Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
- And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
- But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
- Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
- Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
- But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
- (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
- And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
- How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
- Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
- Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
- Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
- But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
- But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
- And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
- After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
- I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
- And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
- Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
- But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
- And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
- And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
- And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
- Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
- For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
- But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
- Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
