Numbers 14:42-44

Common English Bible

⁴² Don’t go up, for the Lord isn’t with you. Don’t be struck down before your enemies. ⁴³ The Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there in front of you and you will fall by the sword because you turned away from the Lord, and the Lord is no longer with you.” ⁴⁴ Yet they recklessly^[a] ascended toward the top of the mountains, even though Moses and the Lord’s chest containing the covenant didn’t depart from the camp.
