39Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40They rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned.
41Moses said, Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, seeing it shall not prosper?
42Don`t go up, for Yahweh isn`t among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
43For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you.
44But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn`t depart out of the camp.
45Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
