29 ayour corpses will fall in this wilderness, even all byour 1numbered men, according to your complete number from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against Me.

30 ‘Surely you shall not come into the land in which I 1swore to settle you, aexcept Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

31 ‘aYour children, however, whom you said would become a prey—I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.

32 ‘aBut as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness.

33 ‘Your sons shall be shepherds for aforty years in the wilderness, and they will 1suffer for your 2unfaithfulness, until your corpses 3lie in the wilderness.

34 ‘According to the anumber of days which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall bear your 1guilt a year, even forty years, and you will know My opposition.
