- 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。

- And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
- And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
- Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
- And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
- For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
