22 Nifla'ot (wondrous works) in Eretz Cham, and nora'ot (awesome things) by the Yam Suf.
23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moshe His bechir (chosen one) stood before Him in the peretz (breach), to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
24 Then they despised the eretz chemdah (desirable land); they believed not His Devar;
25 But murmured in their ohalim, and paid heed not unto the kol (voice) of Hashem.
26 Therefore [in oath] He lifted up His yad against them, that He would overthrow them in the midbar;
27 To make their zera fall also among the Goyim, and to scatter them among the aratzot (lands).
28 They joined themselves also unto Ba'al-Pe'or, and ate the zivkhei mesim (sacrifices offered to the dead).
