36. Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught,
37. Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord.
38. But Josue the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephone lived, of all them that had gone to view the land.
39. And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
40. And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned.
41. And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you?
42. Go not up, for the Lord is not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
43. The Amalecite and the Chanaanite are before you, and by their sword you shall fall, because you would not consent to the Lord, neither will the Lord be with you.
44. But they being blinded went up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses departed not from the camp.
