Numbers 14:42-44

New International Reader's Version

⁴² So don’t go up. The Lord isn’t with you. Your enemies will win the battle over you. ⁴³ The Amalekites and the Canaanites will meet you on the field of battle. You have turned away from the Lord. So he won’t be with you. And you will be killed by swords.”

⁴⁴ But they wouldn’t listen. They still went up toward the highest point in the hill country. They went up even though Moses didn’t move from the camp. They went even though the ark of the Lord’s covenant didn’t move from the camp.
