But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

Verse 44 is found in chapter 14 of Numbers. After hearing the judgment, some Israelites attempt to go up toward Canaan without God’s presence or authorization. Moses warns them that their initiative will not succeed, but they persist and are defeated by the Amalekites and Canaanites. The account shows that delayed obedience is not equivalent to obedience: the same people who refused to advance when God commanded them now try to advance when God has indicated that they should not.

Aber sie waren störrig, hinaufzuziehen auf die Höhe des Gebirges; aber die Lade des Bundes des HERRN und Mose kamen nicht aus dem Lager.
Sin embargo, se obstinaron en subir a la cima del monte: mas el arca de la alianza de Jehová, y Moisés, no se apartaron de en medio del campo.
Ils s'obstinèrent à monter au sommet de la montagne; mais l'arche de l'alliance et Moïse ne sortirent point du milieu du camp.
Nondimeno essi si attentarono temerariamente di salire alla sommità del monte; ma l’Arca del Patto del Signore, e Mosè non si mossero di mezzo al campo.
Contudo, temerariamente, tentaram subir ao cume do monte; mas a arca da aliança do SENHOR e Moisés não se apartaram do meio do arraial.
他們卻擅自上到山頂。但耶和華的約櫃和 摩西 都沒有離開營地。
