Numbers 14:12-14

Young's Literal Translation

¹² I smite it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make thee become a nation greater and mightier than it.'

¹³ And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Then have the Egyptians heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out of their midst,

¹⁴ and they have said [it] unto the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that Thou, Jehovah, [art] in the midst of this people, that eye to eye Thou art seen -- O Jehovah, and Thy cloud is standing over them, -- and in a pillar of cloud Thou art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
