- 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 envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
- The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
- And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
- They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
- Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
|
- 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.
|
- They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
- Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
- Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
- Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
- But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
|
- 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.
|
- Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
- To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
