Numbers 14:18–24

18 v‘The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, wvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’ 19 xPardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, yaccording to the greatness of Your mercy, just zas You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

20 Then the Lord said: “I have pardoned, aaccording to your word; 21 but truly, as I live, ball the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord—22 cbecause all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now dthese ten times, and have not heeded My voice, 23 they certainly shall not esee the land of which I 6swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it. 24 But My servant fCaleb, because he has a different spirit in him and ghas followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
