Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 14 of Numbers. The community responds to the spies’ report with weeping, a desire to return to Egypt, and rejection of Moses and Aaron. Joshua and Caleb tear their clothes and attempt to convince the people that the land is good and that God can give it to them. The proposal to stone them reveals that collective unbelief has reached a breaking point with the mission received.

Fallt nur nicht ab vom HERRN und fürchtet euch vor dem Volk dieses Landes nicht; denn wir wollen sie wie Brot fressen. Es ist ihr Schutz von ihnen gewichen; der HERR aber ist mit uns.Fürchtet euch nicht vor ihnen.
Por tanto, no seáis rebeldes contra Jehová, ni temáis al pueblo de aquesta tierra, porque nuestro pan son: su amparo se ha apartado de ellos, y con nosotros está Jehová: no los temáis.
Seulement, ne soyez point rebelles contre l'Eternel, et ne craignez point les gens de ce pays, car ils nous serviront de pâture, ils n'ont plus d'ombrage pour les couvrir, l'Eternel est avec nous, ne les craignez point!
Sol non ribellatevi contro al Signore, e non abbiate paura del popolo di quel paese; conciossiachè essi sieno nostro pane; la loro ombra s’è dipartita d’in su loro; e il Signore è con noi; non abbiatene paura.
Tão-somente não sejais rebeldes contra o SENHOR, e não temais o povo dessa terra, porquanto são eles nosso pão; retirou-se deles o seu amparo, e o SENHOR é conosco; não os temais.
但你們不可背叛耶和華,也不要怕那地的百姓,因為他們是我們的食物。保護他們的已經離開他們,耶和華卻與我們同在。不要怕他們!」
