Bamidbar 14:41-43

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴¹ And Moshe said, Why now do ye transgress the utterance of Hashem? This will not succeed.

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.
