05:001:033 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to
pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye
should go, and in a cloud by day.
05:001:034 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth,
and sware, saying,
05:001:035 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.
05:001:036 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him
will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children,
because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
05:001:037 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou
also shalt not go in thither.
05:001:038 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he
shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to
inherit it.
05:001:039 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,
and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and
evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they
shall possess it.
05:001:040 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the
wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
05:001:041 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 commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of
war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
05:001:042 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither
fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
05:001:043 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled
against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into
the hill.
05:001:044 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out
against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir,
even unto Hormah.
05:001:045 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would
not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
05:001:046 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days
that ye abode there.
05:002:001 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by
the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed
mount Seir many days.
05:002:002 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
05:002:003 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you
northward.
05:002:004 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through
the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir;
and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves
therefore:
05:002:005 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land,
no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto
Esau for a possession.
05:002:006 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye
shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
