1Everyone was like, "OMG," and they started crying all night. Major vibes.

2All the kids of Israel were low-key complaining about Moses and Aaron, saying, "We wish we just died back in Egypt or out here in the wild!"

3They were like, "Why did God bring us here just to get wrecked? Our fams are gonna get taken out. Shouldn’t we just head back to Egypt?"

4Then they were like, "Yo, let’s pick a leader and bounce back to Egypt."

5Moses and Aaron just hit the ground hard in front of everyone, totally shook.

6Joshua and Caleb, who scoped out the land, were so shook they ripped their clothes.

7They told the whole squad, "The land we checked out is seriously lit."

8"If God’s into us, He’ll hook us up with this land, it’s straight-up flowing with milk and honey."

9"Don’t be sus against God, and don’t sweat the locals; they’re basically snacks for us. God’s got our backs, so chill."

10But the whole crew wanted to throw stones at them. Then the glory of the Lord showed up in the tent before everyone.

11The Lord was like, "How long will these people keep testing my patience? When will they actually believe the vibes I've shown them?"

12I'm about to hit them with some serious pestilence and dip them from my crew, then I'll make you a way bigger and stronger squad.

13Moses was like, "But the Egyptians are gonna hear about this, since you flexed hard bringing these people outta there."

14They'll spill the tea to everyone around here, 'cause they know you, Lord, are vibing with this crew, face to face, and your cloud is literally over them, guiding them day and night.

15If you wipe out this whole squad like one dude, all the nations will say,

16"The Lord couldn't get them into the promised land, so He just ghosted them in the wilderness."

17Now, I’m begging you, let your power pop off, just like you said.

18The Lord is super chill and full of mercy, forgiving mistakes, but He doesn’t just let the guilty slide, keeping it real for generations.

19Please, I’m asking you to forgive these people based on your huge mercy, just like you’ve done since Egypt.

20The Lord said, "I got you, I’ve pardoned them just like you asked."

21But fr, as long as I'm alive, the whole earth's gonna be lit with the glory of the Lord.

22'Cause all those dudes who saw my glory and the crazy miracles I pulled in Egypt and the wild, they’ve tested me ten times and still didn’t listen to my vibe.

23No cap, they ain't seeing the land I promised their fam; those who provoked me are outta luck.

24But my guy Caleb, he had a different spirit and was all in with me, so I’m bringing him to the land he checked out; his crew is gonna own it.

25(The Amalekites and Canaanites were chilling in the valley.) Tomorrow, bounce back and hit the wilderness by the Red Sea.

26And the Lord hit up Moses and Aaron, saying,

27How long am I gonna deal with this sus crew that’s always complaining? I’ve heard the whines of the kids of Israel, for real.

28Tell them, as long as I’m alive, says the Lord, what you’ve said in my ears, I’m gonna make it happen.

29Your bodies are gonna drop in this wilderness; all of you numbered from twenty and up who’ve complained against me are out.

30No doubt, you ain't stepping into the land I promised you, except for Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

31But your little ones that you thought would be easy prey? Nah, I'm bringing them in to peep the land you totally dissed.

32As for you, your bodies are gonna drop in this wilderness, no cap.

33Your kids are gonna vibe in the wilderness for forty years, dealing with your mess, until you all fade away out here.

34After the days you scouted the land, which was forty days, each day equals a year, so you’ll carry your sins for forty years and see my promise was real.

35I, the Lord, said it, and I’m gonna do it to this shady group that’s against me: they’ll be consumed in this wilderness and that’s where they’ll meet their end.

36And the guys Moses sent to check out the land? They came back and got everyone to complain, spreading lies about it.

37Those dudes who gave the bad report? They got hit with the plague before the Lord, savage.

38But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, who were part of the squad that scoped the land, are still alive, fr.

39Moses shared all this with the Israelites, and the people were straight-up mourning.

40They woke up early, climbed to the mountain top, saying, "We’re here and we’ll go to the spot the Lord promised, 'cause we messed up."

41Moses was like, "Why you trippin' on God's commands? This ain't gonna end well, fr."

42"Don't even think about it, fam. God ain't with you, and you'll get wrecked by your enemies."

43"The Amalekites and Canaanites are ready to throw down, and if you bounce from God, you’re gonna get sliced up."

44"But they were all like, 'We got this!' and tried to climb the hill, but the ark and Moses stayed chill in the camp."

45"Then the Amalekites and Canaanites rolled down and wrecked them all, leaving them shook all the way to Hormah."

1And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

2And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

3And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

4And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

5Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

6And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

7And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

8If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

9Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

11And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

12I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

13And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

14And 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 seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

15Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

16Because 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.

17And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

18The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

19Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

20And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

21But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

22Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

23Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

24But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

25(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

26And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

27How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

28Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

29Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,

30Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

31But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

32But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

33And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

34After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

35I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

36And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,

37Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.

38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

39And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

40And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.

41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper.

42Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you.

44But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

45Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
