26 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν, λέγων,
Ὁ δὲ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι· αὔριον ἐπιστράφητε καὶ ἀπάρατε ὑμεῖς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ὁδὸν θάλασσαν ἐρυθρᾶν.
ἕως τίνος τὴν συναγωγὴν τὴν πονηρὰν ταύτην; ἅ αὐτοὶ γογγύζουσιν ἐναντίον μου, τὴν γόγγυσιν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἣν ἐγόγγυσαν περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀκήκοα.
Ὅτι εἶπε Κύριος αὐτοῖς, θανάτῳ ἀποθανοῦνται ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς, πλὴν Χάλεβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννὴ, καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυή.
