1That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.

1וַתִּשָּׂא֙ כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה וַֽיִּתְּנ֖וּ אֶת־ קוֹלָ֑ם וַיִּבְכּ֥וּ הָעָ֖ם בַּלַּ֥יְלָה הַהֽוּא׃

2All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, "If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness!

2וַיִּלֹּ֙נוּ֙ עַל־ מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְעַֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֔ן כֹּ֖ל בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽיֹּאמְר֨וּ אֲלֵהֶ֜ם כָּל־ הָעֵדָ֗ה לוּ־ מַ֙תְנוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם א֛וֹ בַּמִּדְבָּ֥ר הַזֶּ֖ה לוּ־ מָֽתְנוּ׃

3Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Egypt?"

3וְלָמָ֣ה יְ֠הוָה מֵבִ֨יא אֹתָ֜נוּ אֶל־ הָאָ֤רֶץ הַזֹּאת֙ לִנְפֹּ֣ל בַּחֶ֔רֶב נָשֵׁ֥ינוּ וְטַפֵּ֖נוּ יִהְי֣וּ לָבַ֑ז הֲל֧וֹא ט֦וֹב לָ֖נוּ שׁ֥וּב מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃

4And they said to each other, "We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt."

4וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־ אָחִ֑יו נִתְּנָ֥ה רֹ֖אשׁ וְנָשׁ֥וּבָה מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃

5Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there.

5וַיִּפֹּ֥ל מֹשֶׁ֛ה וְאַהֲרֹ֖ן עַל־ פְּנֵיהֶ֑ם לִפְנֵ֕י כָּל־ קְהַ֥ל עֲדַ֖ת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

6Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes

6וִיהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ בִּן־ נ֗וּן וְכָלֵב֙ בֶּן־ יְפֻנֶּ֔ה מִן־ הַתָּרִ֖ים אֶת־ הָאָ֑רֶץ קָרְע֖וּ בִּגְדֵיהֶֽם׃

7and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good.

7וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֶל־ כָּל־ עֲדַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָבַ֤רְנוּ בָהּ֙ לָת֣וּר אֹתָ֔הּ טוֹבָ֥ה הָאָ֖רֶץ מְאֹ֥ד מְאֹֽד׃

8If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.

8אִם־ חָפֵ֥ץ בָּ֙נוּ֙ יְהוָ֔ה וְהֵבִ֤יא אֹתָ֙נוּ֙ אֶל־ הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֔את וּנְתָנָ֖הּ לָ֑נוּ אֶ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ הִ֛וא זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ׃

9Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them."

9אַ֣ךְ בַּֽיהוָה֮ אַל־ תִּמְרֹדוּ֒ וְאַתֶּ֗ם אַל־ תִּֽירְאוּ֙ אֶת־ עַ֣ם הָאָ֔רֶץ כִּ֥י לַחְמֵ֖נוּ הֵ֑ם סָ֣ר צִלָּ֧ם מֵעֲלֵיהֶ֛ם וַֽיהוָ֥ה אִתָּ֖נוּ אַל־ תִּירָאֻֽם׃

10But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites.

10וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה לִרְגּ֥וֹם אֹתָ֖ם בָּאֲבָנִ֑ים וּכְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֗ה נִרְאָה֙ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד אֶֽל־ כָּל־ בְּנֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ

11The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them?

11וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֔ה עַד־ אָ֥נָה יְנַאֲצֻ֖נִי הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה וְעַד־ אָ֙נָה֙ לֹא־ יַאֲמִ֣ינוּ בִ֔י בְּכֹל֙ הָֽאֹת֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִׂ֖יתִי בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ׃

12I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they."

12אַכֶּ֥נּוּ בַדֶּ֖בֶר וְאוֹרִשֶׁ֑נּוּ וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה֙ אֹֽתְךָ֔ לְגוֹי־ גָּד֥וֹל וְעָצ֖וּם מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

13Moses said to the LORD, "Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them.

13וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶל־ יְהוָ֑ה וְשָׁמְע֣וּ מִצְרַ֔יִם כִּֽי־ הֶעֱלִ֧יתָ בְכֹחֲךָ֛ אֶת־ הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה מִקִּרְבּֽוֹ׃

14And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, LORD, are with these people and that you, LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

14וְאָמְר֗וּ אֶל־ יוֹשֵׁב֮ הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּאת֒ שָֽׁמְעוּ֙ כִּֽי־ אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה בְּקֶ֖רֶב הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה אֲשֶׁר־ עַ֨יִן בְּעַ֜יִן נִרְאָ֣ה ׀ אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֗ה וַעֲנָֽנְךָ֙ עֹמֵ֣ד עֲלֵהֶ֔ם וּבְעַמֻּ֣ד עָנָ֗ן אַתָּ֨ה הֹלֵ֤ךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם֙ יוֹמָ֔ם וּבְעַמּ֥וּד אֵ֖שׁ לָֽיְלָה׃

15If you put all these people to death, leaving none alive, the nations who have heard this report about you will say,

15וְהֵמַתָּ֛ה אֶת־ הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה כְּאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֑ד וְאָֽמְרוּ֙ הַגּוֹיִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁמְע֥וּ אֶֽת־ שִׁמְעֲךָ֖ לֵאמֹֽר׃

16The LORD was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath, so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.'

16מִבִּלְתִּ֞י יְכֹ֣לֶת יְהוָ֗ה לְהָבִיא֙ אֶת־ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה אֶל־ הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ נִשְׁבַּ֣ע לָהֶ֑ם וַיִּשְׁחָטֵ֖ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

17"Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared:

17וְעַתָּ֕ה יִגְדַּל־ נָ֖א כֹּ֣חַ אֲדֹנָ֑י כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ לֵאמֹֽר׃

18The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.'

18יְהוָ֗ה אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֙יִם֙ וְרַב־ חֶ֔סֶד נֹשֵׂ֥א עָוֺ֖ן וָפָ֑שַׁע וְנַקֵּה֙ לֹ֣א יְנַקֶּ֔ה פֹּקֵ֞ד עֲוֺ֤ן אָבוֹת֙ עַל־ בָּנִ֔ים עַל־ שִׁלֵּשִׁ֖ים וְעַל־ רִבֵּעִֽים׃

19In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now."

19סְלַֽח־ נָ֗א לַעֲוֺ֛ן הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה כְּגֹ֣דֶל חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְכַאֲשֶׁ֤ר נָשָׂ֙אתָה֙ לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה מִמִּצְרַ֖יִם וְעַד־ הֵֽנָּה׃

20The LORD replied, "I have forgiven them, as you asked.

20וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֔ה סָלַ֖חְתִּי כִּדְבָרֶֽךָ׃

21Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth,

21וְאוּלָ֖ם חַי־ אָ֑נִי וְיִמָּלֵ֥א כְבוֹד־ יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ כָּל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

22not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times--

22כִּ֣י כָל־ הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים הָרֹאִ֤ים אֶת־ כְּבֹדִי֙ וְאֶת־ אֹ֣תֹתַ֔י אֲשֶׁר־ עָשִׂ֥יתִי בְמִצְרַ֖יִם וּבַמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּ֣וּ אֹתִ֗י זֶ֚ה עֶ֣שֶׂר פְּעָמִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ בְּקוֹלִֽי׃

23not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.

23אִם־ יִרְאוּ֙ אֶת־ הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִשְׁבַּ֖עְתִּי לַאֲבֹתָ֑ם וְכָל־ מְנַאֲצַ֖י לֹ֥א יִרְאֽוּהָ׃

24But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.

24וְעַבְדִּ֣י כָלֵ֗ב עֵ֣קֶב הָֽיְתָ֞ה ר֤וּחַ אַחֶ֙רֶת֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וַיְמַלֵּ֖א אַחֲרָ֑י וַהֲבִֽיאֹתִ֗יו אֶל־ הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁר־ בָּ֣א שָׁ֔מָּה וְזַרְע֖וֹ יוֹרִשֶֽׁנָּה׃

25Since the Amalekites and the Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea."

25וְהָֽעֲמָלֵקִ֥י וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֖י יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בָּעֵ֑מֶק מָחָ֗ר פְּנ֨וּ וּסְע֥וּ לָכֶ֛ם הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר דֶּ֥רֶךְ יַם־ סֽוּף׃ פ

26The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:

26וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃

27"How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.

27עַד־ מָתַ֗י לָעֵדָ֤ה הָֽרָעָה֙ הַזֹּ֔את אֲשֶׁ֛ר הֵ֥מָּה מַלִּינִ֖ים עָלָ֑י אֶת־ תְּלֻנּ֞וֹת בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֲשֶׁ֨ר הֵ֧מָּה מַלִּינִ֛ים עָלַ֖י שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃

28So tell them, 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:

28אֱמֹ֣ר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם חַי־ אָ֙נִי֙ נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֔ה אִם־ לֹ֕א כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּרְתֶּ֖ם בְּאָזְנָ֑י כֵּ֖ן אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֥ה לָכֶֽם׃

29In this wilderness your bodies will fall--every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.

29בַּמִּדְבָּ֣ר הַ֠זֶּה יִפְּל֨וּ פִגְרֵיכֶ֜ם וְכָל־ פְּקֻדֵיכֶם֙ לְכָל־ מִסְפַּרְכֶ֔ם מִבֶּ֛ן עֶשְׂרִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וָמָ֑עְלָה אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲלִֽינֹתֶ֖ם עָלָֽי׃

30Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

30אִם־ אַתֶּם֙ תָּבֹ֣אוּ אֶל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָשָׂ֙אתִי֙ אֶת־ יָדִ֔י לְשַׁכֵּ֥ן אֶתְכֶ֖ם בָּ֑הּ כִּ֚י אִם־ כָּלֵ֣ב בֶּן־ יְפֻנֶּ֔ה וִיהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ בִּן־ נֽוּן׃

31As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.

31וְטַ֨פְּכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם לָבַ֣ז יִהְיֶ֑ה וְהֵבֵיאתִ֣י אֹתָ֔ם וְיָֽדְעוּ֙ אֶת־ הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר מְאַסְתֶּ֖ם בָּֽהּ׃

32But as for you, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.

32וּפִגְרֵיכֶ֖ם אַתֶּ֑ם יִפְּל֖וּ בַּמִּדְבָּ֥ר הַזֶּֽה׃

33Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.

33וּ֠בְנֵיכֶם יִהְי֨וּ רֹעִ֤ים בַּמִּדְבָּר֙ אַרְבָּעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה וְנָשְׂא֖וּ אֶת־ זְנוּתֵיכֶ֑ם עַד־ תֹּ֥ם פִּגְרֵיכֶ֖ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

34For forty years--one year for each of the forty days you explored the land--you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.'

34בְּמִסְפַּ֨ר הַיָּמִ֜ים אֲשֶׁר־ תַּרְתֶּ֣ם אֶת־ הָאָרֶץ֮ אַרְבָּעִ֣ים יוֹם֒ י֣וֹם לַשָּׁנָ֞ה י֣וֹם לַשָּׁנָ֗ה תִּשְׂאוּ֙ אֶת־ עֲוֺנֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם אַרְבָּעִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וִֽידַעְתֶּ֖ם אֶת־ תְּנוּאָתִֽי׃

35I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this whole wicked community, which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this wilderness; here they will die."

35אֲנִ֣י יְהוָה֮ דִּבַּרְתִּי֒ אִם־ לֹ֣א ׀ זֹ֣את אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֗ה לְכָל־ הָעֵדָ֤ה הָֽרָעָה֙ הַזֹּ֔את הַנּוֹעָדִ֖ים עָלָ֑י בַּמִּדְבָּ֥ר הַזֶּ֛ה יִתַּ֖מּוּ וְשָׁ֥ם יָמֻֽתוּ׃

36So the men Moses had sent to explore the land, who returned and made the whole community grumble against him by spreading a bad report about it--

36וְהָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁלַ֥ח מֹשֶׁ֖ה לָת֣וּר אֶת־ הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיָּשֻׁ֗בוּ [וילונו] (וַיַּלִּ֤ינוּ) עָלָיו֙ אֶת־ כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה לְהוֹצִ֥יא דִבָּ֖ה עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

37these men who were responsible for spreading the bad report about the land were struck down and died of a plague before the LORD.

37וַיָּמֻ֙תוּ֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים מוֹצִאֵ֥י דִבַּת־ הָאָ֖רֶץ רָעָ֑ה בַּמַּגֵּפָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

38Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.

38וִיהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ בִּן־ נ֔וּן וְכָלֵ֖ב בֶּן־ יְפֻנֶּ֑ה חָיוּ֙ מִן־ הָאֲנָשִׁ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם הַֽהֹלְכִ֖ים לָת֥וּר אֶת־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

39When Moses reported this to all the Israelites, they mourned bitterly.

39וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶת־ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֶֽל־ כָּל־ בְּנֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּֽתְאַבְּל֥וּ הָעָ֖ם מְאֹֽד׃

40Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country, saying, "Now we are ready to go up to the land the LORD promised. Surely we have sinned!"

40וַיַּשְׁכִּ֣מוּ בַבֹּ֔קֶר וַיַּֽעֲל֥וּ אֶל־ רֹאשׁ־ הָהָ֖ר לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֶּ֗נּוּ וְעָלִ֛ינוּ אֶל־ הַמָּק֛וֹם אֲשֶׁר־ אָמַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה כִּ֥י חָטָֽאנוּ׃

41But Moses said, "Why are you disobeying the LORD's command? This will not succeed!

41וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֔ה לָ֥מָּה זֶּ֛ה אַתֶּ֥ם עֹבְרִ֖ים אֶת־ פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְהִ֖וא לֹ֥א תִצְלָֽח׃

42Do not go up, because the LORD is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies,

42אַֽל־ תַּעֲל֔וּ כִּ֛י אֵ֥ין יְהוָ֖ה בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֑ם וְלֹא֙ תִּנָּ֣גְפ֔וּ לִפְנֵ֖י אֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃

43for the Amalekites and the Canaanites will face you there. Because you have turned away from the LORD, he will not be with you and you will fall by the sword."

43כִּי֩ הָעֲמָלֵקִ֨י וְהַכְּנַעֲנִ֥י שָׁם֙ לִפְנֵיכֶ֔ם וּנְפַלְתֶּ֖ם בֶּחָ֑רֶב כִּֽי־ עַל־ כֵּ֤ן שַׁבְתֶּם֙ מֵאַחֲרֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וְלֹא־ יִהְיֶ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה עִמָּכֶֽם׃

44Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up toward the highest point in the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the LORD's covenant moved from the camp.

44וַיַּעְפִּ֕לוּ לַעֲל֖וֹת אֶל־ רֹ֣אשׁ הָהָ֑ר וַאֲר֤וֹן בְּרִית־ יְהוָה֙ וּמֹשֶׁ֔ה לֹא־ מָ֖שׁוּ מִקֶּ֥רֶב הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃

45Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah.

45וַיֵּ֤רֶד הָעֲמָלֵקִי֙ וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י הַיֹּשֵׁ֖ב בָּהָ֣ר הַה֑וּא וַיַּכּ֥וּם וַֽיַּכְּת֖וּם עַד־ הַֽחָרְמָֽה׃ פ
