Numbers 14:20-34

Thomson(i) 20 Then the Lord said to Moses, I am merciful to them according to thy word. 21 But as I live, and my name liveth, and the glory of the Lord shall fill the whole earth; 22 because all these men, who have seen my glory, and the wonders which I have done in Egypt, and in this wilderness, have actually tempted me now the tenth time, and have not hearkened to my voice, 23 they indeed shall not see the land which I, with an oath, promised their fathers. But with regard to their children who are here with me; as many as have not known good or evil; every one who is too young to be taught by experience, to them I will give the land. As for all them who have provoked me, they shall not see it; 24 But with regard to my servant Chaleb, because there was a different spirit in him, and he followed me, him I will bring into the land to which he went, and his seed shall inherit it. 25 Now the Amalekites and the Chananites dwell in that valley, turn therefore to-morrow, and remove into the wilderness by the way to the Red sea. 26 Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall I bear with this wicked congregation? I have heard what they murmur before me; the murmuring of the Israelites which they have uttered concerning you, 28 Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord, As you have spoken in my hearing, so will I actually do to you. 29 In this wilderness your carcasses shall fall; the whole review of you; even all of you who have been reviewed, from twenty years old, and upwards, who have murmured against me. 30 None of you shall come into that land, respecting which I stretched forth my hand to cause you to dwell therein, save only Chaleb son of Jephonne, and Joshua son of Nave. 31 But as for your children, which you said would be for a prey, them I will bring into the land, and they shall inherit that land which you have rejected. 32 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, and in this wilderness 33 your children shall be fed forty years. They shall bear your whoredom until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness. 34 According to the number of days in which you explored the land, counting each of the forty days a year, you shall bear your sins forty years, and shall know the vengeance of my wrath.
