13 It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.”

13 Because you did not carry it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to the rule.”

13 For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

13 Because you Levites did not carry the Ark the first time, the anger of the Lord our God burst out against us. We failed to ask God how to move it properly.”

13 The last time we did not ask the Lord how to carry it. You Levites didn’t carry it, so the Lord our God punished us.”

13 For because ye bare it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance.

13 For because ye did it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

13 Because you weren’t there the first time, the Lord our God struck us. We hadn’t dedicated our lives to serving him in the way ⸤he⸥ designated.” 

13 For the Lord our God burst out in anger against us because you Levites were not with us the first time, for we didn’t inquire of Him about the proper procedures.”

13 Because you did not carry it the first time, the Lord our God burst out against us, because we did not give it proper care.”

13 Because the first time you did not, and Yahweh our God burst out against us, for we did not care for it according to the law.”

13 “Remember when the anger of the Lord our God broke out against us? It was because you Levites didn’t bring the ark up the first time. We didn’t ask the Lord how to do it in the way the law requires.”

13 “Because you did not carry it at the first, the Lord our God made an outburst on us, for we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.”
