433
And Moses told
all those sayings of the Lord to the people and they mourned greatly.
And they rose up
early in the morning and went up into the mountain, and said, "Now we are
here and we will go up unto the place which the Lord has promised for we have
sinned."
And Moses said to the people,
now you want to disobey the Lord by going up unto the mountain to seek his
face? That would be a waste of time because the Lord has turned his back on you
and going up will be to no avail.
Your advice is to not try to
go before the Lord, lest He strike you all dead in the sight of all your
enemies. In any event the Amalekites and the Canaanites are already in the land
and if you go you shall all perish by the sword. For now you have turned away
from the Lord, he has turned away from you.
Notwithstanding Moses admonition,
the rebellious people presumed to go upon the hilltop to seek the Lord, while
Moses remained in the camp with the Ark of the Covenant;
Accordingly the Amalekites
came upon them and the Canaanites who dwelt in the hill fell upon them and
smote them all.
