10But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.
11And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?
12I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.
13And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;
14And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
15Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,
16Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.
