Numbers 14:39-45
Expanded Bible
39 When Moses told these things to all the ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel], they ·were very sad [mourned greatly]. 40 Early the next morning they started to go toward the top of the mountains, saying, “We have sinned. We will go where the Lord told us.”
41 But Moses said, “Why are you ·disobeying [transgressing] the Lord’s command? You will not ·win [succeed]! 42 Don’t go, because the Lord is not with you and you will be ·beaten [struck down] by your enemies. 43 You will run into the Amalekites and Canaanites, who will ·kill [L fell] you with swords. You have turned away from the Lord, so the Lord will not be with you.”
44 But they were ·proud [presumptuous; reckless]. They went toward the top of the mountains, ·but [or even though] Moses and the Ark of the ·Agreement [Treaty; Covenant; Ex. 25:10] with the Lord did not leave the camp. 45 The Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in those mountains came down and ·attacked the Israelites [L struck them down] and beat them back all the way to Hormah.

Numbers 14:39-45
New International Version
39 When Moses reported this(A) to all the Israelites, they mourned(B) bitterly. 40 Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country,(C) saying, “Now we are ready to go up to the land the Lord promised. Surely we have sinned!(D)”
41 But Moses said, “Why are you disobeying the Lord’s command? This will not succeed!(E) 42 Do not go up, because the Lord is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies,(F) 43 for the Amalekites(G) and the Canaanites(H) will face you there. Because you have turned away from the Lord, he will not be with you(I) and you will fall by the sword.”
44 Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up(J) toward the highest point in the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the Lord’s covenant moved from the camp.(K) 45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites(L) who lived in that hill country(M) came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah.(N)
