Numbers 14:5-10

Lexham English Bible

⁵ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before^[a] the assembly of the community of the Israelites.^{[b] 6} Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, from the explorers of the land, tore their garments. ⁷ And they said to all the community of the Israelites,^[c] “The land that we went through to explore is an exceptionally good land.^{[d] 8} If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and he will give it to us, a land that is flowing with milk and honey. ⁹ Only do not rebel against Yahweh, and you will not fear the people of the land, because they will be our food. Their protection^[e] has been turned from them; Yahweh is with us. You should not fear them.” ¹⁰ And all the community said to stone them with stones, but the glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of assembly among the Israelites.^[f]
