22. Also at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath.
23. Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye did not believe him nor hearken to his voice.
24. Ye have been rebels against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25. Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first, because the Lord had said he would destroy you.
26. I prayed, therefore, unto the Lord and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast ransomed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
