- Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'To your descendants I will give it.'
- "I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.
- "Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way."
- When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his ornaments.
- For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the sons of Israel, 'You are an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.'"

- 耶和華吩咐摩西說、我曾起誓應許亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各說、要將迦南地賜給你的後裔.現在你和你從埃及地所領出來的百姓、要從這裡往那地去。
- 我要差遣使者在你前面、攆出迦南人、亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人、
- 領你到那流奶與蜜之地.我自己不同你們上去、因為你們是硬著頸項的百姓、恐怕我在路上把你們滅絕。
- 百姓聽見這兇信就悲哀、也沒有人佩戴妝飾。
- 耶和華對摩西說、你告訴以色列人說、耶和華說、你們是硬著頸項的百姓、我若一霎時臨到你們中間、必滅絕你們現在你們要把身上的妝飾摘下來、使我可以知道怎樣待你們。
