Deuteronomy 1:42
And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies. (Deuteronomy 1:42)
Go not up.
 Compare Num. 14:41, 42. The whole attitude of the people reflected shallow thought and superficial repentance. The ark of God’s presence could not accompany them (Num. 14:44).
