11. And Hashem said unto Moshe, How long will this people treat Me with contempt? And how long will it be until they believe in Me, for all the otot which I have performed among them?
12. I will strike them down with dever (pestilence), and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
13. And Moshe said unto Hashem, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy ko'ach [might] from among them;)
14. And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land; for they have heard that Thou Hashem art among this people, that Thou Hashem art seen eye to eye, and that Thy Anan standeth over them, and that Thou goest before them, by day in an Ammud Anan, and in an Ammud Eish by night.
15. Now if Thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the Goyim which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying,
16. Because Hashem was not able to bring this people into HaAretz which He promised them by oath, therefore He hath slaughtered (shachat) them in the midbar.
17. And now, I beseech thee, let the Ko'ach Adonoi be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying,
18. Hashem is slow of anger, and of rav chesed, forgiving avon and peysha, and by no means exonerating the guilty, visiting the avon of the avot upon the banim unto the third and fourth generation.
19. Selach (forgive!), I beseech thee, the avon of this people according unto the greatness of Thy chesed, just as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Mitzrayim even until now.
20. And Hashem said, I have pardoned according to thy word [of petition]:
21. But as surely as I live, Kol HaAretz (all the Earth) shall be filled with the Kavod Hashem.
22. Because all those men which have seen My kavod, and My otot (miraculous signs), which I performed in Mitzrayim and in the midbar, and have tested Me now these ten times, and have not paid heed to My voice;
23. Surely they shall not see HaAretz which I swore unto their avot, neither shall any of them that treated Me with contempt see it:
24. But Avdi Kalev, because he hath a ruach acheret in him, and hath followed after Me fully, him will I bring into HaAretz whereinto he went; and his zera shall inherit it.
25. (Now the Amaleki and the Kena'ani dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn and get you into the midbar by the way of the Yam Suph.
26. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and unto Aharon, saying,
27. How long shall I bear with this Edah Hara'ah, which murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the Bnei Yisroel, which they murmur against Me.
28. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith Hashem, as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you:
29. Your corpses shall fall in this midbar; and all that were numbered of you, according to your entire mispar (number, census), from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against Me.
