Likewise the LORD was angry with me for your sakes saying:
thou also shalt not go in thither. But Iosua the son of Nun which
stondeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore
for he shall divide it unto Israel. Moreover your children which
ye said should be a prey, and your sons which know neither good
nor bad this day, they shall go in thither and unto them I will
give it, and they shall enjoy it. But as for you, turn back and
take your journey into the wilderness: even the way to the red
sea. Then ye answered and said unto me: We have sinned against the
LORD: we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our
God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons
of war and were ready to go up into the hills, the LORD said unto
me: say unto them, see that ye go not up and that ye fight not,
for I am not among you: lest ye be plagued before your enemies.
And when I told you ye would not hear: but disobeyed the mouth of
the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hills. Then the
Amorites which dwelt in those hills, came out against you and
chased you as bees do, and hewed you in Seir, even unto Horma. And
ye came again and wept before the LORD: but the LORD would not
hear your voice nor give you audience.
