Numbers 14:42-44

New Life Version

⁴² Do not go up, or you will be killed by those who fight against you. For the Lord is not with you. ⁴³ The Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there in front of you, and you will be killed by the sword. Because you have turned away from following the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.” ⁴⁴ But they would not listen and went up to the top of the hill country. The special box with the Law of the Lord, and Moses, did not leave the tents.
