Exodus 33:1-6 - Command To Resume Travel
1 Jehovah said to Moses: You and the people you brought out of Egypt must leave this place. Go to the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with an oath, saying: 'I will give it to your descendants.' 2 I will send an angel ahead of you. I will force out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. 3 Go to that land flowing with milk and honey. I will not be with you, because you are impossible to deal with. I would probably destroy you on the way. 4 The people heard this bad news and acted as if someone had died. No one wore any jewelry.
5 Jehovah said to Moses: Tell the Israelites: You are impossible to deal with. If I were with you, I might destroy you at any time. Take off your jewelry and I will decide what to do with you. 6 The Israelites no longer wore their jewelry after they left Mount Horeb.
