⁴⁰And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned. ⁴¹And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord, seeing it shall not prosper? ⁴²Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies. ⁴³For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from following the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you. ⁴⁴But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. ⁴⁵Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite which dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
