  • Exod.16:2 (structural): A broader notice that 'the whole congregation murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness'—establishes the recurrent pattern of grumbling against leadership in the wilderness narratives.
  • Ps.106:13-16 (allusion): The psalm recounts Israel's repeated forgetfulness and murmuring, specifically envying and testing God and 'murmuring against Moses and Aaron,' echoing the episode's themes and characterizations.

Parallels

  • Deuteronomy 1:44 (verbal): Direct retelling of the same incident — Israel 'presumed to go up into the hill' despite God’s warning; closely parallels wording and narrative outcome.
  • Numbers 10:33 (structural): Contrasts this verse: earlier in the wilderness narrative the ark 'went before' the people when God led them, highlighting here that the ark (and Moses) remained in the camp, so they lacked God's presence.
  • 1 Samuel 4:3–11 (thematic): Shows the theological principle that going into battle without God's presence (the ark) brings defeat and disaster — Israelites are routed and the ark is captured when God is not truly with them.
  • Joshua 3:3–4 (thematic): Illustrates the proper pattern: the priests bearing the ark lead the people into God’s presence and into action, underscoring that military movement apart from the ark (as in Num 14:44) is misguided.

Parallels

  • Deut.1:42-45 (quotation): Direct retelling of the same episode: Israelites attempt to go up the hill, and the Amalekite and Canaanite come down and strike them, pursuing to Hormah — essentially the same narrative framed in Moses' review.
  • Exod.17:8-16 (thematic): Earliest confrontation with Amalek (attack on Israel after Sinai). Shares the motif of Amalek as Israel's aggressor and military conflict initiated by that tribal enemy.
  • Deut.25:17-19 (allusion): Legislative/commemorative response to an Amalek attack: commands Israel to remember Amalek's ambush and to blot out their memory, reflecting the theological significance of the event in Num 14:45.
  • 1 Sam.15:2-3,7-9 (verbal): God's command to Saul to 'utterly destroy' Amalek and the later failure to do so echo the language and idea of total destruction/חרמה associated with Amalek in the wilderness episode (linking Hormah/ban and the demand for annihilation).

Then the whole assembly lifted up their voices, and the people wept that night. And all the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt—or if only we had died in this wilderness!"

Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become a spoil. Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt? And they spoke to one another, each to his brother, "Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt."

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before the whole assembly of the congregation of the people of Israel. Now Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes. And they spoke to all the congregation of the people of Israel, saying, "The land which we passed through to spy it out is an exceedingly good land.

If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us—a land flowing with milk and honey.

Only do not rebel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land—for they are bread for us; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them." And all the congregation said to stone them with stones; and the glory of the LORD appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the people of Israel. And the LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe me, even with all the signs that I have wrought among them?"

I will strike them with pestilence and disinherit them; and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they." But Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'He brought this people out by his power to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth'? Turn from your fierce anger and relent from this disaster against your people.

Let the Egyptians hear it, for you brought up this people in your might from among them; and they will tell the inhabitants of this land.

They will hear that you, O LORD, are in the midst of this people; you, O LORD, are seen eye to eye—your cloud stood over them, and in the cloud you went before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

If you would kill this people as one man, then the nations who have heard your fame would say,

'Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.'" And the LORD said, "The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression; yet he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation." And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, "O Lord, do not let your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand.

Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt until now." And the LORD said, "I have pardoned, according to your word.

Nevertheless, as I live, and as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth,

all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me these ten times and have not obeyed my voice,

shall by no means see the land that I swore to give to their fathers, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall have a share in it, and to him and his descendants I will give the land on which he trod because he had a different spirit and followed me fully. But as for the Amalekite and the Canaanite who dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and set out; go up into the wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds.'" And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

"How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the people of Israel, which they murmur against me.

Say to them, 'As I live,' says the LORD, 'just as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:

In this wilderness your carcasses shall fall—every one of you who were numbered, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me.'"

You shall by no means enter the land in which I swore to dwell you in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. But your little ones, whom you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that you have rejected. But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and shall suffer for your faithlessness until the last of your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.

According to the number of the days that you spied out the land, forty days, a day for a year, you shall bear your iniquity forty years and know my displeasure.'"

I the LORD have spoken: surely this I will do to all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die." And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation to complain against him by bringing an evil report about the land,

those men who brought an evil report of the land died by a plague before the LORD. But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those men who had spied out the land, lived. And Moses told these words to all the people of Israel; and the people mourned greatly.

They rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the hill, saying, "Here we are; we will go up to the place that the LORD has promised, for we have sinned." But Moses said, "Why are you now transgressing the command of the LORD? It will not succeed.

Do not go up, for the LORD is not among you; that you should be defeated before your enemies.

For the Amalekite and the Canaanite are there before you; and you shall fall by the sword, for you have turned back from the LORD, and the LORD will not be with you.'" But they presumed to go up to the height; yet the ark of the covenant of the LORD and Moses did not depart from the midst of the camp.

Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived on that hill came down and struck them and beat them down as far as Hormah.
