But in
any wise rebel not against the LORD. Moreover fear ye not the
people of the land, for they are but bread for us. Their shield is
departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not
therefore. And all the whole multitude bade stone them with
stones. But the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of
witness, unto all the children of Israel. And the LORD said unto
Moses: How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will
it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have shewed
among them? I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy
them, and will make of thee a greater nation and a mightier than
they. And Moses said unto the LORD: then the Egyptians shall hear
it, for thou broughtest this people with thy might from among
them. And it will be told to the inhabiters of this land also, for
they have heard likewise, that thou the LORD art among this
people, and that thou art seen face to face, and that thy cloud
stondeth over them and that thou goest before them by day time in
a pillar of cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. If thou shalt
kill all this people as they were but one man then the nations
which have heard the fame of thee, will speak saying: because the
LORD was not able to bring in this people into the land which he
swore unto them, therefore he slew them in the wilderness.
