45And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
35*Surely there shall not one of these men of this euill generation see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers:
36Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because hee hath †wholly followed the LORD.
37*Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, *Thou also shalt not goe in thither.
38 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall goe in thither. Encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite it.
39Moreouer, your litle ones, which ye said should be a pray, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euil, they shall goe in thither; and vnto them will I giue it, and they shall possesse it.
40But as for you, turne ye, and take your iourney into the wildernesse, by the way of the Red sea.
41Then ye answered, and said vnto mee, *Wee haue sinned against the LORD, we will goe vp and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded vs. And when ye had girded on euery man his weapons of warre, yee were ready to goe vp into the hill.
42And the LORD said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, for I am not among you: least ye be smitten before your enemies.
43So I spake vnto you, and you would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the LORD, and †went presumptuously vp into the hill.
44And the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine, came out against you, and chased you, as Bees doe, and destroyed you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.
45And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voyce, nor giue eare vnto you.
