Numbers 14:12-14

Living Bible

¹² I will disinherit them and destroy them with a plague, and I will make you into a nation far greater and mightier than they are!”

¹³ “But what will the Egyptians think when they hear about it?” Moses pleaded with the Lord. “They know full well the power you displayed in rescuing your people. ¹⁴ They have told this to the inhabitants of this land, who are well aware that you are with Israel and that you talk with her face-to-face. They see the pillar of cloud and fire standing above us, and they know that you lead and protect us day and night.
