- Then the LORD said to Moses, "Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.'
- I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
- Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way."
- When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn and no one put on any ornaments.
- For the LORD had said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.' "

- 耶和华吩咐摩西说,我曾起誓应许亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各说,要将迦南地赐给你的后裔。现在你和你从埃及地所领出来的百姓,要从这里往那地去。
- 我要差遣使者在你前面,撵出迦南人,亚摩利人,赫人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人,
- 领你到那流奶与蜜之地。我自己不同你们上去,因为你们是硬着颈项的百姓,恐怕我在路上把你们灭绝。
- 百姓听见这凶信就悲哀,也没有人佩戴妆饰。
- 耶和华对摩西说,你告诉以色列人说,耶和华说,你们是硬着颈项的百姓,我若一霎时临到你们中间,必灭绝你们。现在你们要把身上的妆饰摘下来,使我可以知道怎样待你们。
