Numbers 14
New English Translation
The Israelites Respond in Unbelief
14 [a] Then all the community raised a loud cry,[b] and the people wept[c] that night. 2 And all the Israelites murmured[d] against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died[e] in the land of Egypt, or if only we had perished[f] in this wilderness! 3 Why has the Lord brought us into this land only to be killed by the sword, that our wives and our children should become plunder? Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to Egypt?” 4 So they said to one another,[g] “Let’s appoint[h] a leader[i] and return[j] to Egypt.”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell down with their faces to the ground[k] before the whole assembled community[l] of the Israelites. 6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, two of those who had investigated the land, tore their garments. 7 They said to the whole community of the Israelites, “The land we passed through to investigate is an exceedingly[m] good land. 8 If the Lord delights in us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us—a land that is flowing with milk and honey.[n] 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, and do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us.[o] Their protection[p] has turned aside from them, but the Lord is with us. Do not fear them!”
10 However, the whole community threatened to stone them.[q] But[r] the glory[s] of the Lord appeared to all the Israelites at the tent[t] of meeting.
The Punishment from God
11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise[u] me, and how long will they not believe[v] in me, in spite of the signs that I have done among them? 12 I will strike them with the pestilence,[w] and I will disinherit them—I will make you into a nation that is greater and mightier than they!”
13 Moses said to the Lord, “When the Egyptians hear[x] it—for you brought up this people by your power from among them— 14 then they will tell it to the inhabitants[y] of this land. They have heard that you, Lord, are among this people, that you, Lord, are seen face to face,[z] that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them by day in a pillar of cloud and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 If you kill[aa] this entire people at once,[ab] then the nations that have heard of your fame will say, 16 ‘Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to them, he killed them in the wilderness.’ 17 So now, let the power of my Lord[ac] be great, just as you have said, 18 ‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in loyal love,[ad] forgiving iniquity and transgression,[ae] but by no means clearing the guilty,[af] visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children until the third and fourth generations.’[ag] 19 Please forgive[ah] the iniquity of this people according to your great loyal love,[ai] just as you have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.”
20 Then the Lord said, “I have forgiven them as you asked.[aj] 21 But truly, as I live,[ak] all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord. 22 For all the people have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted[al] me now these ten times,[am] and have not obeyed me[an]— 23 they will by no means[ao] see the land that I promised on oath to their fathers, nor will any of them who despised me see it— 24 Only my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit and has followed me fully—I will bring him into the land where he had gone, and his descendants[ap] will possess it. 25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites were living in the valleys.)[aq] Tomorrow, turn and journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
26 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 27 “How long must I bear[ar] with this evil congregation[as] that murmurs against me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites that they murmured against me. 28 Say to them, ‘As I live,[at] says[au] the Lord, I will surely do to you just what you have spoken in my hearing.[av] 29 Your dead bodies[aw] will fall in this wilderness—all those of you who were numbered, according to your full number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me. 30 You will by no means enter into the land where[ax] I swore[ay] to settle[az] you. The only exceptions are Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31 But I will bring in your little ones, whom you said would become victims of war,[ba] and they will enjoy[bb] the land that you have despised. 32 But as for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, 33 and your children will wander[bc] in the wilderness forty years and suffer for your unfaithfulness,[bd] until your dead bodies lie finished[be] in the wilderness. 34 According to the number of the days you have investigated this land, forty days—one day for a year—you will suffer for[bf] your iniquities, forty years, and you will know what it means to thwart me.[bg] 35 I, the Lord, have said, “I will surely do so to all this evil congregation that has gathered together against me. In this wilderness they will be finished, and there they will die!”’”
36 The men whom Moses sent to investigate the land, who returned and made the whole community murmur against him by producing[bh] an evil report about the land, 37 those men who produced the evil report about the land, died by the plague before the Lord. 38 But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among[bi] the men who went to investigate the land, lived. 39 When Moses told[bj] these things to all the Israelites, the people mourned[bk] greatly.
40 And early[bl] in the morning they went up to the crest of the hill country,[bm] saying, “Here we are, and we will go up to the place that the Lord commanded,[bn] for we have sinned.”[bo] 41 But Moses said, “Why[bp] are you now transgressing the commandment[bq] of the Lord? It will not succeed! 42 Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you, and you will be[br] defeated before your enemies. 43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”
44 But they dared[bs] to go up to the crest of the hill, although[bt] neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses departed from the camp. 45 So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country swooped down[bu] and attacked them[bv] as far as Hormah.[bw]
Footnotes
- Numbers 14:1 sn This chapter forms part of the story already begun. There are three major sections here: dissatisfaction with the reports (vv. 1-10), the threat of divine punishment (vv. 11-38), and the defeat of the Israelites (vv. 39-45). See K. D. Sakenfeld, “The Problem of Divine Forgiveness in Num 14, ” CBQ 37 (1975): 317-30; also J. R. Bartlett, “The Use of the Word רֹאשׁ as a Title in the Old Testament,” VT 19 (1969): 1-10.
- Numbers 14:1 tn The two verbs “lifted up their voice and cried” form a hendiadys; the idiom of raising the voice means that they cried aloud.
- Numbers 14:1 tn There are a number of things that the verb “to weep” or “wail” can connote. It could reflect joy, grief, lamentation, or repentance, but here it reflects fear, hopelessness, or vexation at the thought of coming all this way and being defeated by the Canaanite armies. See Judg 20:23, 26.
- Numbers 14:2 tn The Hebrew verb “to murmur” is לוּן (lun). It is a strong word, signifying far more than complaining or grumbling, as some of the modern translations have it. The word is most often connected to the wilderness experience. It is paralleled in the literature with the word “to rebel.” The murmuring is like a parliamentary vote of no confidence, for they no longer trusted their leaders and wished to choose a new leader and return. This “return to Egypt” becomes a symbol of their lack of faith in the Lord.
- Numbers 14:2 tn The optative is expressed by לוּ (lu) and then the verb, here the perfect tense מַתְנוּ (matnu)—“O that we had died….” Had they wanted to die in Egypt they should not have cried out to the Lord to deliver them from bondage. Here the people became consumed with the fear and worry of what lay ahead, and in their panic they revealed a lack of trust in God.
- Numbers 14:2 tn Heb “died.”
- Numbers 14:4 tn Heb “a man to his brother.”
- Numbers 14:4 tn The verb is נָתַן (natan, “to give”), but this verb has quite a wide range of meanings in the Bible. Here it must mean “to make,” “to choose,” “to designate” or the like.
- Numbers 14:4 tn The word “head” (רֹאשׁ, roʾsh) probably refers to a tribal chief who was capable to judge and to lead to war (see J. R. Bartlett, “The Use of the Word רֹאשׁ as a Title in the Old Testament,” VT 19 [1969]: 1-10).
- Numbers 14:4 tn The form is a cohortative with a vav (ו) prefixed. After the preceding cohortative this could also be interpreted as a purpose or result clause—in order that we may return.
- Numbers 14:5 sn This action of Moses and Aaron is typical of them in the wilderness with the Israelites. The act shows self-abasement and deference before the sovereign Lord. They are not bowing before the people here, but in front of the people they bow before God. According to Num 16:41-50 this prostration is for the purpose of intercessory prayer. Here it prevents immediate wrath from God.
- Numbers 14:5 tn Heb “before all the assembly of the congregation.”
- Numbers 14:7 tn The repetition of the adverb מְאֹד (meʾod) is used to express this: “very, very [good].”
- Numbers 14:8 tn The subjective genitives “milk and honey” are symbols of the wealth of the land, second only to bread. Milk was a sign of such abundance (Gen 49:12; Isa 7:21, 22). Because of the climate the milk would thicken quickly and become curds, eaten with bread or turned into butter. The honey mentioned here is the wild honey (see Deut 32:13; Judg 14:8-9). It signified sweetness, or the finer things of life (Ezek 3:3).
- Numbers 14:9 sn The expression must indicate that they could destroy the enemies as easily as they could eat bread.
- Numbers 14:9 tn Heb “their shade.” The figure compares the shade from the sun with the protection from the enemy. It is also possible that the text is alluding to their deities here.
- Numbers 14:10 tn Heb “said to stone them with stones.” The verb and the object are not from the same root, but the combination nonetheless forms an emphasis equal to the cognate accusative.
- Numbers 14:10 tn The vav (ו) on the noun “glory” indicates a strong contrast, one that interrupts their threatened attack.
- Numbers 14:10 sn The glory of the Lord refers to the reality of the Lord’s presence in a manifestation of his power and splendor. It showed to all that God was a living God. The appearance of the glory indicated blessing for the obedient, but disaster for the disobedient.
- Numbers 14:10 tc The Greek, Syriac, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “in the cloud over the tent.”
- Numbers 14:11 tn The verb נָאַץ (naʾats) means “to condemn, spurn” (BDB 610 s.v.). Coats suggests that in some contexts the word means actual rejection or renunciation (Rebellion in the Wilderness, 146, 7). This would include the idea of distaste.
- Numbers 14:11 tn The verb “to believe” (root אָמַן, ʾaman) has the basic idea of support, dependability for the root. The Hiphil has a declarative sense, namely, to consider something reliable or dependable and to act on it. The people did not trust what the Lord said.
- Numbers 14:12 tc The Greek version has “death.”
- Numbers 14:13 tn The construction is unusual in that we have here a perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive with no verb before it to establish the time sequence. The context requires that this be taken as a vav (ו) consecutive. It actually forms the protasis for the next verse, and would best be rendered “when…then they will say.”
- Numbers 14:14 tn The singular participle is to be taken here as a collective, representing all the inhabitants of the land.
- Numbers 14:14 tn “Face-to-face” is literally “eye to eye.” It only occurs elsewhere in Isa 52:8. This expresses the closest communication possible.
- Numbers 14:15 tn The verb is the Hiphil perfect of מוּת (mut), וְהֵמַתָּה (vehemattah). The vav (ו) consecutive makes this also a future time sequence verb, but again in a conditional clause.
- Numbers 14:15 tn Heb “as one man.”
- Numbers 14:17 tc The form in the text is אֲדֹנָי (ʾadonay), the word that is usually used in place of the tetragrammaton. It is the plural form with the pronominal suffix, and so must refer to God.
- Numbers 14:18 tn The expression רַב־חֶסֶד (rav khesed) means “much of loyal love” or “faithful love.” Some have it “totally faithful,” but that omits the aspect of his love.
- Numbers 14:18 tn Or “rebellion.”
- Numbers 14:18 tn The infinitive absolute emphasizes the verbal activity of the imperfect tense, which here serves as a habitual imperfect. Negated it states what God does not do; and the infinitive makes that certain.
- Numbers 14:18 sn The Decalogue adds “to those who hate me.” The point of the line is that the effects of sin, if not the sinful traits themselves, are passed on to the next generation.
- Numbers 14:19 tn The verb סְלַח־נָא (selakh naʾ), the imperative form, means “forgive” (see Ps 130:4), “pardon,” “excuse.” The imperative is of course a prayer, a desire, and not a command.
- Numbers 14:19 tn The construct unit is “the greatness of your loyal love.” This is the genitive of specification, the first word being the modifier.
- Numbers 14:20 tn Heb “forgiven according to your word.” The direct object, “them,” is implied.
- Numbers 14:21 sn This is the oath formula, but in the Pentateuch it occurs here and in v. 28.
- Numbers 14:22 tn The verb נָסָה (nasah) means “to test, to tempt, to prove.” It can be used to indicate things are tried or proven, or for testing in a good sense, or tempting in the bad sense, i.e., putting God to the test. In all uses there is uncertainty or doubt about the outcome. Some uses of the verb are positive: If God tests Abraham in Genesis 22:1, it is because there is uncertainty whether he fears the Lord or not; if people like Gideon put out the fleece and test the Lord, it is done by faith but in order to be certain of the Lord’s presence. But here, when these people put God to the test ten times, it was because they doubted the goodness and ability of God, and this was a major weakness. They had proof to the contrary, but chose to challenge God.
- Numbers 14:22 tn “Ten” is here a round figure, emphasizing the complete testing. But see F. V. Winnett, The Mosaic Tradition, 121-54.
- Numbers 14:22 tn Heb “listened to my voice.”
- Numbers 14:23 tn The word אִם (ʾim) indicates a negative oath formula: “if” means “they will not.” It is elliptical. In a human oath one would be saying: “The Lord do to me if they see…,” meaning “they will by no means see.” Here God is swearing that they will not see the land.
- Numbers 14:24 tn Heb “seed.”
- Numbers 14:25 sn The judgment on Israel is that they turn back to the desert and not attack the tribes in the land. So a parenthetical clause is inserted to state who was living there. They would surely block the entrance to the land from the south—unless God removed them. And he is not going to do that for Israel.
- Numbers 14:27 tn The figure is aposiopesis, or sudden silence. The main verb is deleted from the line, “how long…this evil community.” The intensity of the emotion is the reason for the ellipsis.
- Numbers 14:27 sn It is worth mentioning in passing that this is one of the Rabbinic proof texts for having at least ten men to form a congregation and have prayer. If God called ten men (the bad spies) a “congregation,” then a congregation must have ten men. But here the word “community/congregation” refers in this context to the people of Israel as a whole, not just to the ten spies.
- Numbers 14:28 sn Here again is the oath that God swore in his wrath, an oath he swore by himself, that they would not enter the land. “As the Lord lives,” or “by the life of the Lord,” are ways to render it.
- Numbers 14:28 tn The word נְאֻם (neʾum) is an “oracle.” It is followed by the subjective genitive: “the oracle of the Lord” is equal to saying “the Lord says.”
- Numbers 14:28 tn Heb “in my ears.”sn They had expressed the longing to have died in the wilderness, and not in war. God will now give them that. They would not say to God “your will be done,” so he says to them, “your will be done” (to borrow from C. S. Lewis).
- Numbers 14:29 tn Or “your corpses” (also in vv. 32, 33).
- Numbers 14:30 tn The relative pronoun “which” is joined with the resumptive pronoun “in it” to form a smoother reading “where.”
- Numbers 14:30 tn The Hebrew text uses the anthropomorphic expression “I raised my hand” in taking an oath.
- Numbers 14:30 tn Heb “to cause you to dwell; to cause you to settle.”
- Numbers 14:31 tn Or “plunder.”
- Numbers 14:31 tn Heb “know.”
- Numbers 14:33 tn The word is “shepherds.” It means that the people would be wilderness nomads, grazing their flock on available land.
- Numbers 14:33 tn Heb “you shall bear your whoredoms.” The imagery of prostitution is used throughout the Bible to reflect spiritual unfaithfulness, leaving the covenant relationship and following after false gods. Here it is used generally for their rebellion in the wilderness, but not for following other gods.
- Numbers 14:33 tn The infinitive is from תָּמַם (tamam), which means “to be complete.” The word is often used to express completeness in a good sense—whole, blameless, or the like. Here and in v. 35 it seems to mean “until your deaths have been completed.” See also Gen 47:15; Deut 2:15.
- Numbers 14:34 tn Heb “you shall bear.”
- Numbers 14:34 tn The phrase refers to the consequences of open hostility to God, or perhaps abandonment of God. The noun תְּנוּאָה (tenuʾah) occurs in Job 33:10 (perhaps). The related verb occurs in Num 30:6 HT (30:5 ET) and 32:7 with the sense of “disallow, discourage.” The sense of the expression adopted in this translation comes from the meticulous study of R. Loewe, “Divine Frustration Exegetically Frustrated,” Words and Meanings, 137-58.
- Numbers 14:36 tn The verb is the Hiphil infinitive construct with a ל (lamed) preposition from the root יָצָא (yatsaʾ, “to bring out”). The use of the infinitive here is epexegetical, that is, explaining how they caused the people to murmur.
- Numbers 14:38 tn The Hebrew text uses the preposition “from,” “some of”—“from those men.” The relative pronoun is added to make a smoother reading.
- Numbers 14:39 tn The preterite here is subordinated to the next preterite to form a temporal clause.
- Numbers 14:39 tn The word אָבַל (ʾaval) is rare, used mostly for mourning over deaths, but it is used here of mourning over bad news (see also Exod 33:4; 1 Sam 15:35; 16:1; etc.).
- Numbers 14:40 tn The verb וַיַּשְׁכִּמוּ (vayyashkimu) is often found in a verbal hendiadys construction: “They rose early…and they went up” means “they went up early.”
- Numbers 14:40 tn The Hebrew text says literally “the top of the hill,” but judging from the location and the terrain it probably means the heights of the hill country.
- Numbers 14:40 tn The verb is simply “said,” but it means the place that the Lord said to go up to in order to fight.
- Numbers 14:40 sn Their sin was unbelief. They could have gone and conquered the area if they had trusted the Lord for their victory. They did not, and so they were condemned to perish in the wilderness. Now, thinking that by going they can undo all that, they plan to go. But this is also disobedience, for the Lord said they would not now take the land, and yet they think they can. Here is their second sin, presumption.
- Numbers 14:41 tn The line literally has, “Why is this [that] you are transgressing….” The demonstrative pronoun is enclitic; it brings the force of “why in the world are you doing this now?”
- Numbers 14:41 tn Heb “mouth.”
- Numbers 14:42 tn This verb could also be subordinated to the preceding: “that you be not smitten.”
- Numbers 14:44 tn N. H. Snaith compares Arabic ʿafala (“to swell”) and gafala (“reckless, headstrong”; Leviticus and Numbers [NCB], 248). The word עֹפֶל (ʿofel) means a “rounded hill” or a “tumor.” The idea behind the verb may be that of “swelling,” and so “act presumptuously.”
- Numbers 14:44 tn The disjunctive vav (ו) here introduces a circumstantial clause; the most appropriate one here would be the concessive “although.”
- Numbers 14:45 tn Heb “came down.”
- Numbers 14:45 tn The verb used here means “crush by beating,” or “pounded” them. The Greek text used “cut them in pieces.”
- Numbers 14:45 tn The name “Hormah” means “destruction”; it is from the word that means “ban, devote” for either destruction or temple use.
Números 14
Nueva Biblia Viva
El pueblo se rebela
14 Entonces el pueblo comenzó a llorar en alta voz y se pasaron la noche llorando. 2 Elevaron sus voces como un gran coro de quejas en contra de Moisés y Aarón.
«Preferiríamos haber muerto en Egipto —se quejaban— o aun aquí en el desierto, 3 antes que entrar a ese país que tenemos ante nosotros. El Señor permitirá que nos maten allí y nuestras esposas e hijos serán esclavos. Regresemos a Egipto».
4 La idea corrió por el campamento:
«Elijamos a un caudillo y regresemos a Egipto».
5 Entonces Moisés y Aarón se postraron en tierra delante del pueblo de Israel; 6 dos de los espías, Josué hijo de Nun y Caleb, hijo de Jefone, rasgaron su ropa 7 y le dijeron al pueblo:
―Tenemos un país maravilloso por delante 8 y el Señor nos ama. Él hará que entremos sanos y salvos en la tierra y nos la entregará. Es una tierra muy fértil, una tierra de la que verdaderamente fluye leche y miel. 9 No se rebelen contra el Señor y no teman al pueblo que habita en aquella tierra. Los venceremos fácilmente. El Señor está con nosotros y se ha apartado de ellos. No teman.
10 Como respuesta, todo el pueblo se dispuso apedrearlos. Pero la gloria del Señor apareció ante ellos, 11 y el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
―¿Hasta cuando me despreciará este pueblo? ¿Es que nunca me creerán aun después de todos los milagros que he hecho entre ellos? 12 Los desheredaré y los destruiré con una plaga, y de ti haré una nación mucho más poderosa que ellos.
13 ―Pero, ¿qué pensarán los egipcios cuando oigan acerca de esto? —le respondió Moisés al Señor—. Ellos saben bien la demostración de poder que hiciste al rescatar a tu pueblo. 14 Lo han contado a los habitantes de esta tierra, que saben bien que tú estás con Israel y que tú hablas con Israel cara a cara. Ellos ven la columna de nube y fuego que está sobre nosotros, y saben que tú nos diriges y nos proteges día y noche. 15 Si matas a este pueblo, las naciones que habrán oído de tu fama dirán: 16 “El Señor les ha dado muerte porque no tuvo suficiente poder para introducirlos en la tierra que juró que les daría”.
17 »Oh Señor, muestra tu gran poder, 18 misericordia y gran paciencia perdonando nuestros pecados. Perdónanos aun cuando dijiste que no dejarías pecado sin castigo, y que castigas las faltas del padre en los hijos hasta la tercera y cuarta generación. 19 Perdona los pecados de este pueblo por tu amor magnífico, así como muchas veces los has perdonado desde que salimos de Egipto».
20 ―Bien, los perdonaré de la manera que me has pedido —respondió el Señor—. 21 Pero juro por mi propio nombre que, así como la tierra está llena de mi gloria, 22 ninguno de los hombres que vieron mi gloria y los milagros que hice en Egipto y en el desierto (y diez veces se negaron a confiar en mí y a obedecerme) 23 verá la tierra que les prometí a sus antepasados. 24 Pero mi siervo Caleb es diferente: me ha obedecido en todo. Lo haré entrar en la tierra donde ya ha estado, y sus descendientes poseerán una buena parte de ella. 25 Pero ahora, puesto que el pueblo de Israel teme a los amalecitas y a los cananeos que viven en los valles, mañana regresarán al desierto en dirección al Mar Rojo.
26 Entonces el Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
27 ―¿Hasta cuando se quejará de mí este pueblo perverso? 28 Dile: “El Señor promete concederles lo que acaban de pedir. 29 Morirán todos en el desierto. Ninguno que tenga más de veinte años y se haya quejado contra mí 30 entrará en la Tierra prometida. Sólo Caleb, hijo de Jefone, y Josué, hijo de Nun podrán entrar. 31 Ustedes dijeron que sus hijos serían esclavos del pueblo de esa tierra. Pues no. Al contrario, los haré vivir tranquilos en la tierra y heredarán lo que ustedes han despreciado. 32 En cuanto a ustedes, sus cadáveres quedarán en el desierto. 33 Hasta que no muera el último de ustedes en el desierto, sus hijos vagarán por él como nómadas durante cuarenta años. De esta manera ustedes pagarán por su falta de fe. 34 Por cuanto los espías estuvieron cuarenta días en la tierra, ustedes vagarán en el desierto durante cuarenta años, un año por cada día, llevando la carga de sus pecados. Les enseñaré cada día lo que significa rechazarme”. 35 Yo el Señor he hablado. Cada uno de ustedes que haya conspirado en mi contra morirá en este desierto.
36-38 Los diez espías que habían incitado la rebelión contra el Señor y habían llenado de temor los corazones del pueblo fueron los primeros en morir delante del Señor. Josué y Caleb fueron los únicos que quedaron con vida.
El pueblo intenta conquistar la tierra
39 Y hubo llanto en el campamento cuando Moisés les informó lo que el Señor le había dicho.
40 A la mañana siguiente los israelitas se levantaron muy temprano y comenzaron a avanzar hacia la Tierra prometida.
―Comprendemos que hemos pecado —dijeron—, pero ahora estamos dispuestos a entrar en la tierra que el Señor nos ha prometido.
41 ―Es demasiado tarde —les respondió Moisés—. Ahora están desobedeciendo las órdenes del Señor de regresar al desierto.
42 No sigan con ese plan o serán derrotados por sus enemigos, porque el Señor no irá con ustedes. 43 ¿No recuerdan? ¡Allí están los amalecitas y los cananeos! Ustedes se han apartado del Señor y ahora él se apartará de ustedes.
44 Pero ellos avanzaron hacia las montañas a pesar de que ni el cofre ni Moisés salieron con ellos del campamento. 45 Entonces los amalecitas y los cananeos que vivían en las montañas cayeron sobre ellos y los atacaron y los persiguieron hasta el pueblo de Jormá donde los derrotaron totalmente.
