Numbers 14:9 (NAS)
Only
do not rebel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land, for they
shall be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is
with us; do not fear them.
Numbers 14:9 (NIVUS)
Only
do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land,
because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with
us. Do not be afraid of them.
Although at one time, you
revolted and rebelled against Adonai, now you have dedicated your life to
Him. You do not fear or dread anyone or anything; nothing of this earth
terrifies you. There is only One whom you fear. You stand in awe and
reverence of Jehovah, the Lord your God; you honor and respect Him in
all things.
Do not be afraid of any
nation or group of people; for they are held in the dark, whereas you are child
of the light. When you engage them in battle, you will find them to be
food for you. The spoils of war will be your bread and provision.
Your enemies will not
even have a shade to protect them. They will find that the gods in which
they trusted are mere empty images. They will turn aside and sink before your
weapons.
So rejoice; the Lord your God
is with you. He goes before you into battle and you have nothing to fear.
