Then ye answered and said unto me
on Deuteronomy 1:41-43
We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight is repentance arriving after the sentence and taking the form of doing the very thing that had been refused the day before. Numbers 14:40-45 tells the same attempt and adds that the ark of the covenant and Moses stayed behind in the camp. Verse 42 gives the reason it fails in one clause, for I am not among you, and verse 43 lays on this advance the identical charge verse 26 laid on the retreat, that they rebelled against the commandment of the LORD.
