Exodus 33:4 CPDV

²  And I will send an Angel to precede you, so that I may cast out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,

³  and so that you may enter into a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, since you are a stiff-necked people, lest perhaps I may destroy you on the way.'

⁴  And upon hearing this very bad news, the people mourned; and no one put on his finery according to custom.

⁵  And the Lord said to Moses: 'Say to the sons of Israel: You are a stiff-necked people. I should at once go up into your midst and destroy you. Now immediately put aside your ornaments, so that I may know what to do to you.'

⁶  Therefore, the sons of Israel put aside their ornaments before Mount Horeb.
