Numbers 14:20–30

²⁰And Jehovah saith, ‘I have forgiven, according to thy word; ²¹and yet, I live—and it is filled—the whole earth—with the honour of Jehovah; ²²for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice— ²³they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see it; ²⁴and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me—I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.

²⁵‘And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; to-morrow turn ye and journey for yourselves into the wilderness—the way of the Red Sea.’ ²⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, ²⁷‘Until when hath this evil company that which they are murmuring against Me? the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard; ²⁸say unto them, I live—an affirmation of Jehovah—if, as ye have spoken in Mine ears—so I do not to you; ²⁹in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have murmured against Me; ³⁰ye—ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.
