- When they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,
- The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram.
- And a fire blazed up in their company; The flame consumed the wicked.
- They made a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image.
- Thus they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.
|
- In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.
- The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.
- Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.
- At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
- They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.

- They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
- Wonders in the land of Ham And awesome things by the Red Sea.
- Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.
- Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe in His word,
- But grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
|
- They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
- miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
- So he said he would destroy them-- had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.
- Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.
- They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.
|
- Therefore He swore to them That He would cast them down in the wilderness,
- And that He would cast their seed among the nations And scatter them in the lands.
|
- So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the desert,
- make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
