Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”

Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers?’

I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.’ ”

That same day, Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

You shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it.

“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

It shall be, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.

Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
