And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firftripe grapes. 21 So they went up, and fearched the Jand from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 22 And they afcended by the fouth, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Shefhai, and Talmai, the children of Apak, vere.

And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of ffrael. 11 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the figns which I have fhewed among them? 12 I will fmite them with the peftilence, and difinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. 13 And Mofes faid unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians fhall hear it, (for thou broughteft up this people in thy might from among them ;) 14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art feen face to face, and that thy cloud ftandeth over them, and that thou goeft before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if thou fhalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will fpeak, faying, 16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he fware unto them, therefore he hath flain them in the wildernefs. 17 And now, I befeech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou haft fpoken, faying, 18 The LORD is long-fuffering, and 24 But my fervant Caleb, because he had another fpirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his feed fhall poffefs it. 25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wildernefs by the way of the Red fea. 26 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes and unto Aaron, faying, 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Ifrael, which they murmur against me. 28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, faith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, fo will I do to you: 29 Your carcafes fhall fall in this wildernefs; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, 30 Doubtlefs ye fhall not come into the land, concerning which I fware to make you dwell therein, fave Caleb the fon of Jephunneh, and Jofhua the fon of Nun. 31 But your little ones, which ye faid should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they fhall know the land which ye have defpifed. 32 But as for you, your carcafes, they fhall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children fhall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcafes be wafted in the wilderness. 34 After the number of the days in which ye fearched the land, even forty days, The law of Jundry offerings. fering unto the LORD bring a meat of fering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.
