Exodus 33:1-6
Moses and the Tent of Meeting
33Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go! Go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which aI swore to Abraham, bto Isaac, and cto Jacob, saying, ‘dTo your seed I will give it.’ 2“And I will send aan angel before you, and bI will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 3“Go up to a land aflowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst because you are ba stiff-necked people, lest cI consume you on the way.”
4Then the people heard this 1sad word and awent into mourning; and none of them put on his ornaments. 5So Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are aa stiff-necked people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would consume you. So now, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.’” 6So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
