04:013:030 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses,
and said, Let us go
up
at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome
it.
04:013:031 But the men that went up with him said,
We be not able to go
up
against the people; for they are stronger than we.
04:013:032 And they brought up an evil report of the
land which they had
searched
unto the children of Israel, saying, The land,
through
which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth
up
the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we
saw in
it
are men of a great stature.
04:013:033 And there we saw the giants, the sons of
Anak, which come of
the
giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and
so
we were in their sight.
04:014:001 And all the congregation lifted up their
voice, and cried; and
the
people wept that night.
04:014:002 And all the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and
against
Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them,
Would
God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would
God
we
had died in this wilderness!
04:014:003 And wherefore hath the lord brought
us unto this land, to fall
by
the sword, that our wives and our children should be
a
prey?
were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
04:014:004 And they said one to another, Let us make
a captain, and let
us
return into Egypt.
04:014:005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces
before all the
assembly
of the congregation of the children of Israel.
04:014:006 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the
son of Jephunneh,
which
were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
04:014:007 And they spake unto all the company of
the children of Israel,
saying,
The land, which we passed through to search it, is
an
exceeding
good land.
04:014:008 If the lord delight in us, then he
will bring us into this
land,
and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and
honey.
04:014:009 Only rebel not ye against the lord,
neither fear ye the people
of
the land; for they are bread for us: their defence
is
departed
from them, and the lord is with us: fear
them not.
04:014:010 But all the congregation bade stone them
with stones. And the
glory
of the lord appeared in the tabernacle of the
congregation
before all the children of Israel.
04:014:011 And the lord said unto Moses, How
long will this people
provoke
me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for
all
the signs which I have shewed among them?
