36And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Jehovah.
38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.
39And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which Jehovah hath promised: for we have sinned.
41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of Jehovah, seeing it shall not prosper?
42Go not up, for Jehovah is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.
