42. And Hashem said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not in your midst; lest ye be struck down before your enemies.
43. So I spoke unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Hashem, and went presumptuously up into the hill country.
44. And HaEmori, which dwelt in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Chormah.
45. And ye returned and wept before Hashem; but Hashem would not listen to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46. That is why ye abode in Kadesh as long as ye did.
