40and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top of the mountain, saying, `Here we `are', and we have come up unto the place which Jehovah hath spoken of, for we have sinned.'
41And Moses saith, `Why `is' this? -- ye are transgressing the command of Jehovah, and it doth not prosper;
42go not up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies;
43for the Amalekite and the Canaanite `are' there before you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have turned back from after Jehovah, and Jehovah is not with you.'
