Bamidbar 14:42-44

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴² Go not up, for Hashem is not among you; that ye be not struck down before your enemies.

⁴³ For the Amaleki and the Kena’ani are there before you, and ye shall fall by the cherev: because ye are turned away from Hashem, therefore Hashem will not be with you.

⁴⁴ But they presumed to go up unto the ridge of the mountain: nevertheless the Aron Brit Hashem, and Moshe, departed not out of the machaneh.
