Deuteronomy 1:40-42

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴⁰ But as for you, return and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

⁴¹ 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 has commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the mountain.

⁴² And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Do not go up or fight, for I am not among you, lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
