For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. {Meribah-Kadesh: or, strife at Kadesh}

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up {that which is} planted; {to be...: Heb. to bear}

And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, {and} the LORD would not destroy thee. {first...: or, former days}

Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
