Red Sea<\/B>This command they disregarded,and, determined to force an onward passage in spite of the earnestremonstrances of Moses, they attempted to cross the heights thenoccupied by the combined forces of the Amorites and Amalekites(compare Nu 14:43<\/span>), but wererepulsed with great loss. People often experience distress even whilein the way of duty. But how different their condition who suffer insituations where God is with them from the feelings of those who areconscious that they are in a position directly opposed to the divinewill! The Israelites were grieved when they found themselves involvedin difficulties and perils; but their sorrow arose not from a senseof the guilt so much as the sad effects of their perverse conduct;and “though they wept,” they were not true penitents. Sothe Lord would not hearken to their voice, nor give ear unto them.<\/P><\/p>\n But as for you, turn ye<\/strong>,….

By this time, they had come to realize the enormity of their sin, and they presumed to correct this in their own way. They determined to proceed into the Land in spite of what God had said. The soldiers armed themselves for battle, and went out to meet the foe. The Amorites quickly routed them, and the people wailed in futile mourning, Num 14:40-45<\/span>.<\/p>\n This experience illustrates a Scripture principle relevant today. God’s people may forfeit His blessings, by failure to move at His command. But it is disastrous to disobey Him and to presume to carry out His instructions in one’s own way and by one’s own strength.<\/p>\n Moses does not give the exact length of Israel’s stay in Kadesh.
