Numbers 14:41-43

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴¹ But Moses said, Why now do you transgress the command of the Lord [to turn back by way of the Red Sea], since it will not succeed?

⁴² Go not up, for the Lord is not among you, that you be not struck down before your enemies.

⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from following after the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you.
