Numbers 14:12-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² I will smite them with ^[a](A)pestilence and dispossess them, and I ^(B)will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they.”

^13 (C)But Moses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought up this people from their midst, ¹⁴ and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, O Lord, are in the midst of this people, for ^(D)You, O Lord, are seen eye to eye, while 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.
