NET Bible
"‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to them, he killed them in the wilderness.’"
— Numbers 14:16, NET Bible
“Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.”
“Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. ”
“'Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.'”
“He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness.”
“Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.”
“Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.”
Moses said to the LORD,“When the Egyptians hear it– for you brought up this people by your power from among them–
then they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, LORD, are among this people, that you, LORD, are seen face to face, 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.
If you kill this entire people at once, then the nations that have heard of your fame will say,
‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to them, he killed them in the wilderness.’
So now, let the power of my Lord be great, just as you have said,
‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loyal love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children until the third and fourth generations.’
Please forgive the iniquity of this people according to your great loyal love, just as you have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.”
