Deuteronomy 1:26-33 ▼

26 And you have not been willing to go up, and you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH,

27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In YHWH’s hating us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite—to destroy us;

28 to where are we going up? Our brothers have melted our heart, saying, [The] people [are] greater and taller than we; [the] cities [are] great and fortified up to the heavens, and we have also seen sons of Anakim there.

29 And I say to you, Do not be terrified, nor be afraid of them;

30 your God YHWH, who is going before you—He fights for you, according to all that He has done with you in Egypt before your eyes,

31 and in the wilderness where you have seen that your God YHWH has carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have gone until your coming to this place.

32 And in this thing you are not steadfast in your God YHWH,

33 who is going before you in the way to search out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to show you in the way in which you go, and in a cloud by day.
