journey of israel through the Desert » Marked by constant murmurings and rebellions
Forty years, loathed I that generation, So I said - A people going astray in heart, they are, Even they, have not known my ways!
How often they, Resisted him in the desert, Vexed him, in the waste:
Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea - at the Red Sea. Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power; So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land; read more.
And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe; So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left. They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise. Soon forgat they his works, - They waited not for his counsel; But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste. So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, - of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh; The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram; Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, - a flame, consumed the lawless ones. They made a calf in Horeb, - and bowed down to a molten image; Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt: Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea. Then would he have bidden to destroy them, - had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying. And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word; But murmured in their tents, - They hearkened note unto the voice of Yahweh. So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert; And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands. Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, - and did eat sacrifices to the dead: So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them. Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague: So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding. And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, - And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes; For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips. They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them; But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings; Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare: Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons; And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed; And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.

So Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and humiliated them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, - until he had cast them out from his presence; for he rent Israel away from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat, king, - and Jeroboam thrust away Israel from following Yahweh, and caused them to commit a great sin. And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he had committed, - they turned not away therefrom; until that Yahweh removed Israel from his presence, according as he spake through all his servants the prophets, - and so Israel was driven away from off their own soil, to Assyria, until this day.
But they forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made for themselves something molten - two calves, and made a Sacred Stem, and bowed themselves down to all the army of the heavens, and served Baal; and made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to wrath. So Yahweh shewed himself exceeding angry with Israel, and removed them from his presence, - there was none left, save the tribe of Judah, alone. Even Judah, kept not the commandments of Yahweh their God, - but walked in the statutes of Israel, which they had made.

But again, once more sinned they against him, Resisting the Most High in a land of drought: They put GOD to the proof in their heart, By asking food to their mind: Yea they spake against Elohim, - They said, Can GOD prepare a table in the desert? read more.
Lo! he hath smitten a rock, And waters, have gushed out, Yea, torrents, have rushed along, - Food also, can he give? Or provide flesh for his people? Therefore, Yahweh hearkened, and became wroth, - And, a fire, was kindled against Jacob, Moreover also, anger, mounted against Israel; Because, They believed not in God, Nor trusted in his salvation; Though he had commanded the skies above, And, the doors of the heavens, had opened; And had rained on them manna to eat, And, the corn of the heavens, had given to them: The food of the mighty, each one did eat, Nourishment, sent he them to the full; He let loose an east wind in the heavens, Then guided he, in his might, a south wind; And rained upon them flesh as the dust, And, like the sand of the seas, birds of wing; And let them fall in the midst of their camp, - Round about their habitations. So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them: - They had not turned away from what they had longed for, Yet was their food in their mouth, When, the anger of God, mounted against them, And he slew of their vigorous youths, And, the choice young men of Israel, caused he to bow down in death. For all this, sinned they still, And believed not in his wonders; So he ended, in a breath, their days, And their years, in a sudden terror! If he slew of them, then they sought him, Yea they turned, and did earnestly seek GOD;

They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt: Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea. Then would he have bidden to destroy them, - had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying. read more.
And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word; But murmured in their tents, - They hearkened note unto the voice of Yahweh. So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert; And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.

Well: by their want of faith, they have been broken out, - and, thou, by thy faith, dost stand! - Regard not lofty things, but be afraid; For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare!
