  • Num 14:1-9 : 1 Then the entire assembly raised their voices and cried, and the people wept throughout that night. 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole community said to them, "If only we had died in Egypt or in this wilderness! 3 Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn't it be better for us to return to Egypt? 4 And they said to each other, "Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt. 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the entire assembly of the Israelite community. 6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes. 7 And they said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us—a land flowing with milk and honey. 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for we will devour them. Their protection is gone, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them. 10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, despite all the signs I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, and I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they. 13 But Moses said to the LORD, "The Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them. 14 They will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, LORD, are among these people, that you, LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. 15 If you put all these people to death as one man, the nations who have heard about your fame will say, 16 'The LORD was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath, so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.' 17 Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared: 18 'The LORD is slow to anger, abundant in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and rebellion; yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished, bringing the consequences of the fathers' iniquity upon the children to the third and fourth generation.' 19 Please pardon the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just as you have forgiven them from Egypt until now. 20 The LORD replied, 'I have forgiven them, as you asked.' 21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth, 22 none of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times, 23 not one of them will see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has spurned me will see it. 24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. 25 The Amalekites and Canaanites are dwelling in the valley. Tomorrow, turn around and set out toward the wilderness along the way of the Red Sea. 26 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 27 How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites, who are murmuring against me. 28 Say to them: 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say in my hearing.' 29 In this wilderness, your dead bodies will fall—every one of you who was numbered in the census, twenty years old or more, who grumbled against me. 30 Not one of you will enter the land I swore by uplifted hand to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31 But your children, whom you said would be plunder, I will bring them in to know the land that you have rejected. 32 As for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness. 33 Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, bearing the consequences of your unfaithfulness, until your corpses are consumed in the wilderness. 34 For forty days you explored the land; now, for each day, you will bear your guilt for a year—forty years—and you will know my opposition. 35 I, the LORD, have spoken. I will surely do this to this entire wicked community who conspired against me; they will meet their end in this wilderness, and here they will die. 36 The men whom Moses had sent to explore the land, and who returned and caused the whole assembly to complain by spreading a bad report about the land— 37 those men who spread the bad report about the land were struck down by a plague before the LORD. 38 But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, survived. 39 When Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned greatly. 40 Early the next morning they set out toward the top of the hill and said, 'Here we are! We are ready to go up to the place the LORD promised, for we have sinned.' 41 But Moses said, 'Why are you disobeying the LORD's command? This will not succeed. 42 Do not go up, because the LORD is not with you; you will be defeated by your enemies.' 43 For the Amalekites and Canaanites are there to confront you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you. 44 Nevertheless, in their presumption, they went up toward the top of the hill, but neither the ark of the LORD's covenant nor Moses moved from the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them as far as Hormah.
  • Num 16:1-9 : 1 Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, along with Dathan, Abiram (sons of Eliab), and On, son of Peleth, from the tribe of Reuben, took action. 2 They rose up against Moses, accompanied by 250 leaders of Israel, men of reputation who had been chosen to represent the assembly. 3 They gathered against Moses and Aaron and said to them, "You have taken too much upon yourselves! The whole community is holy, each one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you set yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?" 4 When Moses heard this, he fell face down. 5 Then he spoke to Korah and all his followers, saying, "In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to Him, who is holy, and whom He permits to approach Him. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself. 6 "Do this: Take censers for yourselves, Korah and all your followers. 7 Put fire in them and place incense on them in the presence of the Lord tomorrow. The man the Lord chooses will be the holy one. You have gone too far, sons of Levi!" 8 Moses also said to Korah, "Listen now, you sons of Levi! 9 Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has set you apart from the rest of the Israelite community to bring you near to Himself to do the work of the Lord's tabernacle and to stand before the assembly to minister to them? 10 He has brought you and all your fellow Levites near to Him, but now you are demanding the priesthood as well! 11 Therefore, it is against the Lord that you and all your followers have gathered. Who is Aaron that you should grumble against him?" 12 Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, "We will not come! 13 Isn't it enough that you brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also lord it over us? 14 What's more, you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you intend to gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come!" 15 Moses was very angry and said to the Lord, "Do not accept their offering. I have not taken even a single donkey from them, nor have I wronged any one of them." 16 Moses said to Korah, "You and all your followers are to appear before the Lord tomorrow—you, they, and Aaron. 17 Each man is to take his censer, put incense in it, and present it before the Lord—250 censers in all. You and Aaron are also to do the same, each with his censer.

  • Num 21:1-6 : 1 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was taking the route through Atharim, he fought against Israel and captured some of them. 2 Then Israel made a vow to the LORD, saying, 'If You indeed deliver this people into our hands, we will completely destroy their cities.' 3 The LORD listened to Israel’s request and gave the Canaanites into their hands. They utterly destroyed them and their cities, and the place was called Hormah. 4 They journeyed from Mount Hor by way of the Red Sea to go around the land of Edom, and the people became impatient along the way. 5 The people spoke against God and Moses: 'Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, no water, and we detest this miserable food!' 6 Then the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died.
  • Num 25:1-9 : 1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the people began to commit sexual immorality with the women of Moab. 2 The women invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 Israel yoked itself to Baal of Peor, and the LORD's anger burned against Israel. 4 The LORD said to Moses, 'Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that the LORD's fierce anger may turn away from Israel.' 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, 'Each of you must kill those of your men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor.' 6 Then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman into his family, in the sight of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw this, he rose from among the assembly, took a spear in his hand, 8 followed the Israelite man into the tent, and drove the spear through both of them—the Israelite man and the woman—into her belly. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped. 9 But those who died in the plague numbered twenty-four thousand. 10 The LORD said to Moses, 11 'Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the Israelites by being as zealous as I am for my honor among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in my zeal.' 12 Therefore tell him, 'I am giving him my covenant of peace.' 13 'It will be a covenant of an everlasting priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.' 14 The name of the Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of a Simeonite family. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a family in Midian. 16 The LORD said to Moses, 17 ‘Treat the Midianites as enemies and strike them down. 18 For they treated you as enemies with their deceit, which they used to lure you away to worship Baal of Peor, and because of Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, their kinswoman, who was killed on the day of the plague that struck because of Peor.’
