< במדבר 14 >
וַתִּשָּׂא כׇּל־הָעֵדָה וַֽיִּתְּנוּ אֶת־קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּוּ הָעָם בַּלַּיְלָה הַהֽוּא׃ | 1 |
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
וַיִּלֹּנוּ עַל־מֹשֶׁה וְעַֽל־אַהֲרֹן כֹּל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם כׇּל־הָעֵדָה לוּ־מַתְנוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם אוֹ בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה לוּ־מָֽתְנוּ׃ | 2 |
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
וְלָמָה יְהֹוָה מֵבִיא אֹתָנוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת לִנְפֹּל בַּחֶרֶב נָשֵׁינוּ וְטַפֵּנוּ יִהְיוּ לָבַז הֲלוֹא טוֹב לָנוּ שׁוּב מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃ | 3 |
And why has the LORD brought us to 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?
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו נִתְּנָה רֹאשׁ וְנָשׁוּבָה מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃ | 4 |
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
וַיִּפֹּל מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם לִפְנֵי כׇּל־קְהַל עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 5 |
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן־נוּן וְכָלֵב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּה מִן־הַתָּרִים אֶת־הָאָרֶץ קָרְעוּ בִּגְדֵיהֶֽם׃ | 6 |
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־כׇּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בָהּ לָתוּר אֹתָהּ טוֹבָה הָאָרֶץ מְאֹד מְאֹֽד׃ | 7 |
And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
אִם־חָפֵץ בָּנוּ יְהֹוָה וְהֵבִיא אֹתָנוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת וּנְתָנָהּ לָנוּ אֶרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־הִוא זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבָֽשׁ׃ | 8 |
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
אַךְ בַּיהֹוָה אַל־תִּמְרֹדוּ וְאַתֶּם אַל־תִּֽירְאוּ אֶת־עַם הָאָרֶץ כִּי לַחְמֵנוּ הֵם סָר צִלָּם מֵעֲלֵיהֶם וַֽיהֹוָה אִתָּנוּ אַל־תִּירָאֻֽם׃ | 9 |
Only rebel not you against the LORD, neither fear you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כׇּל־הָעֵדָה לִרְגּוֹם אֹתָם בָּאֲבָנִים וּכְבוֹד יְהֹוָה נִרְאָה בְּאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד אֶֽל־כׇּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 10 |
But 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.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה עַד־אָנָה יְנַאֲצֻנִי הָעָם הַזֶּה וְעַד־אָנָה לֹא־יַאֲמִינוּ בִי בְּכֹל הָֽאֹתוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
אַכֶּנּוּ בַדֶּבֶר וְאוֹרִשֶׁנּוּ וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה אֹֽתְךָ לְגוֹי־גָּדוֹל וְעָצוּם מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 12 |
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְשָׁמְעוּ מִצְרַיִם כִּֽי־הֶעֱלִיתָ בְכֹחֲךָ אֶת־הָעָם הַזֶּה מִקִּרְבּֽוֹ׃ | 13 |
And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them; )
וְאָמְרוּ אֶל־יוֹשֵׁב הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת שָֽׁמְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה בְּקֶרֶב הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר־עַיִן בְּעַיִן נִרְאָה ׀ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה וַעֲנָֽנְךָ עֹמֵד עֲלֵהֶם וּבְעַמֻּד עָנָן אַתָּה הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם יוֹמָם וּבְעַמּוּד אֵשׁ לָֽיְלָה׃ | 14 |
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
וְהֵמַתָּה אֶת־הָעָם הַזֶּה כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד וְאָֽמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר־שָׁמְעוּ אֶֽת־שִׁמְעֲךָ לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 15 |
Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
מִבִּלְתִּי יְכֹלֶת יְהֹוָה לְהָבִיא אֶת־הָעָם הַזֶּה אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּע לָהֶם וַיִּשְׁחָטֵם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ | 16 |
Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
וְעַתָּה יִ גְדַּל־נָא כֹּחַ אֲדֹנָי כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 17 |
And now, I beseech you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
יְהֹוָה אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם וְרַב־חֶסֶד נֹשֵׂא עָוֺן וָפָשַׁע וְנַקֵּה לֹא יְנַקֶּה פֹּקֵד עֲוֺן אָבוֹת עַל־בָּנִים עַל־שִׁלֵּשִׁים וְעַל־רִבֵּעִֽים׃ | 18 |
The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.
סְלַֽח־נָא לַעֲוֺן הָעָם הַזֶּה כְּגֹדֶל חַסְדֶּךָ וְכַאֲשֶׁר נָשָׂאתָה לָעָם הַזֶּה מִמִּצְרַיִם וְעַד־הֵֽנָּה׃ | 19 |
Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה סָלַחְתִּי כִּדְבָרֶֽךָ׃ | 20 |
And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:
וְאוּלָם חַי־אָנִי וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹד־יְהֹוָה אֶת־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 21 |
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
כִּי כׇל־הָאֲנָשִׁים הָרֹאִים אֶת־כְּבֹדִי וְאֶת־אֹתֹתַי אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתִי בְמִצְרַיִם וּבַמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ אֹתִי זֶה עֶשֶׂר פְּעָמִים וְלֹא שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹלִֽי׃ | 22 |
Because 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 listened to my voice;
אִם־יִרְאוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לַאֲבֹתָם וְכׇל־מְנַאֲצַי לֹא יִרְאֽוּהָ׃ | 23 |
Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
וְעַבְדִּי כָלֵב עֵקֶב הָֽיְתָה רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת עִמּוֹ וַיְמַלֵּא אַחֲרָי וַהֲבִֽיאֹתִיו אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־בָּא שָׁמָּה וְזַרְעוֹ יוֹרִשֶֽׁנָּה׃ | 24 |
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went; and his seed shall possess it.
וְהָעֲמָֽלֵקִי וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יוֹשֵׁב בָּעֵמֶק מָחָר פְּנוּ וּסְעוּ לָכֶם הַמִּדְבָּר דֶּרֶךְ יַם־סֽוּף׃ | 25 |
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelled in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 26 |
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
עַד־מָתַי לָעֵדָה הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה מַלִּינִים עָלָי אֶת־תְּלֻנּוֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה מַלִּינִים עָלַי שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃ | 27 |
How 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.
אֱמֹר אֲלֵהֶם חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אִם־לֹא כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתֶּם בְּאׇזְנָי כֵּן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה לָכֶֽם׃ | 28 |
Say to them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה יִפְּלוּ פִגְרֵיכֶם וְכׇל־פְּקֻדֵיכֶם לְכׇל־מִסְפַּרְכֶם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמָעְלָה אֲשֶׁר הֲלִֽינֹתֶם עָלָֽי׃ | 29 |
Your carcasses 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.
אִם־אַתֶּם תָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־יָדִי לְשַׁכֵּן אֶתְכֶם בָּהּ כִּי אִם־כָּלֵב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּה וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן־נֽוּן׃ | 30 |
Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
וְטַפְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר אֲמַרְתֶּם לָבַז יִהְיֶה וְהֵבֵיאתִי אֹתָם וְיָֽדְעוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר מְאַסְתֶּם בָּֽהּ׃ | 31 |
But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.
וּפִגְרֵיכֶם אַתֶּם יִפְּלוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּֽה׃ | 32 |
But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
וּבְנֵיכֶם יִהְיוּ רֹעִים בַּמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וְנָשְׂאוּ אֶת־זְנוּתֵיכֶם עַד־תֹּם פִּגְרֵיכֶם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ | 33 |
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your prostitutions, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
בְּמִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר־תַּרְתֶּם אֶת־הָאָרֶץ אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה תִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־עֲוֺנֹתֵיכֶם אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וִֽידַעְתֶּם אֶת־תְּנוּאָתִֽי׃ | 34 |
After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise.
אֲנִי יְהֹוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי אִם־לֹא ׀ זֹאת אֶֽעֱשֶׂה לְכׇל־הָעֵדָה הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּאת הַנּוֹעָדִים עָלָי בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה יִתַּמּוּ וְשָׁם יָמֻֽתוּ׃ | 35 |
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וַיָּשֻׁבוּ (וילונו) [וַיַּלִּינוּ] עָלָיו אֶת־כׇּל־הָעֵדָה לְהוֹצִיא דִבָּה עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 36 |
And 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 on the land,
וַיָּמֻתוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים מוֹצִאֵי דִבַּת־הָאָרֶץ רָעָה בַּמַּגֵּפָה לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 37 |
Even those men that did bring up the evil report on the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן־נוּן וְכָלֵב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּה חָיוּ מִן־הָאֲנָשִׁים הָהֵם הַהֹֽלְכִים לָתוּר אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 38 |
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֶֽל־כׇּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽתְאַבְּלוּ הָעָם מְאֹֽד׃ | 39 |
And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
וַיַּשְׁכִּמוּ בַבֹּקֶר וַיַּֽעֲלוּ אֶל־רֹאשׁ־הָהָר לֵאמֹר הִנֶּנּוּ וְעָלִינוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־אָמַר יְהֹוָה כִּי חָטָֽאנוּ׃ | 40 |
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, See, we be here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה לָמָּה זֶּה אַתֶּם עֹבְרִים אֶת־פִּי יְהֹוָה וְהִוא לֹא תִצְלָֽח׃ | 41 |
And Moses said, Why now do you transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
אַֽל־תַּעֲלוּ כִּי אֵין יְהֹוָה בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וְלֹא תִּנָּגְפוּ לִפְנֵי אֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃ | 42 |
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that you be not smitten before your enemies.
כִּי הָעֲמָלֵקִי וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי שָׁם לִפְנֵיכֶם וּנְפַלְתֶּם בֶּחָרֶב כִּֽי־עַל־כֵּן שַׁבְתֶּם מֵאַחֲרֵי יְהֹוָה וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה יְהֹוָה עִמָּכֶֽם׃ | 43 |
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
וַיַּעְפִּלוּ לַעֲלוֹת אֶל־רֹאשׁ הָהָר וַאֲרוֹן בְּרִית־יְהֹוָה וּמֹשֶׁה לֹא־מָשׁוּ מִקֶּרֶב הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ | 44 |
But they presumed to go up to the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
וַיֵּרֶד הָעֲמָלֵקִי וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּהָר הַהוּא וַיַּכּוּם וַֽיַּכְּתוּם עַד־הַֽחׇרְמָֽה׃ | 45 |
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelled in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even to Hormah.
