Numbers 14:28–35

²⁸Tell them: As surely as I live,” this is the Lord’s declaration, “I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. ²⁹Your corpses will fall in this wilderness—all of you who were registered in the census, the entire number of you 20 years old or more ^h—because you have complained about Me. ³⁰I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised ⁱto settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. ³¹I will bring your children whom you said would become plunder ^jinto the land you rejected, and they will enjoy it. ^k32But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness. ³³Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for 40 years and bear the penalty for your acts of unfaithfulness until all your corpses lie scattered in the wilderness. ³⁴You will bear the consequences of your sins 40 years based on the number of the 40 days that you scouted the land, a year for each day. ^lmYou will know My displeasure. ⁿ³⁵I, Yahweh, have spoken. I swear that I will do this to the entire evil community that has conspired against Me. ^oThey will come to an end in the wilderness, and there they will die.” ^p
