Ulun lakar ngaadang uli pantaran kitane jlemane ane brontak muah madosa. Ulun lakar ngaadang ia uli gumine ane dadi tongos iane jani, nanging Ulun tusing nglugrain ia mulih ka tanah Israel. Ditu kita lakar nawang mungguing Ulun ene Sang Hyang Widi Wasa.”
What Does This Mean?
This verse says that God will remove the rebels and those who disobey him from among the people. These rebels will not enter the land of Israel. God says this to show his authority and that he is the Lord.
Explained for Children
