2
And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite"
3
unto a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiffnecked people, lest I consume thee on the way."
4
And when the people heard these evil tidings they mourned, and no man put on his ornaments.
5
For the LORD had said unto Moses, "Say unto the children of Israel, `Ye are a stiffnecked people. I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment and consume thee. Therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.'"
6
And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb.
