Numbers 14:42-44

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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.

⁴⁴ But they presumed to go up to the heights of the hill country; however, neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses departed out of the camp.
