Numbers 14:26–35
26 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 27 “How long will I bear this evil community who are grumbling against me? I have heard the grumbling of the ⌊Israelites⌋w which ⌊they are making⌋x against me. 28 Say to them, ‘Surely as I live,’ ⌊declares⌋y Yahweh, ‘just as you spoke ⌊in my hearing⌋,z so I will do to you; 29 in this desert your corpses will fall, and all your counted ones, according to all your number, from ⌊twenty years old⌋a and above who grumbled against me. 30 You yourselves will not come into the land that ⌊I swore by oath⌋b to make you to dwell in it, but Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31 But your little children, whom you said would be plunder, I will bring them, and they will know the land that you rejected. 32 But for you, all your corpses will fall in this desert. 33 And your children will be shepherds in the desert forty years,c and you will bear your unfaithfulness until ⌊all your corpses have fallen⌋d in the desert. 34 According to the number of the dayse that you explored the land, forty days,f ⌊a day for each year⌋,g you will bear your sins forty years,h and you will know my opposition.’ 35 I, Yahweh, have spoken; I will surely do this to all this evil community who has banded together against me. In this desert they will come to an end, and there they will die.”
