And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: but as truly
as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which
I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten
times, and have not hearkened to my voice; surely they shall not see
the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them
that provoked me see it: but my servant Caleb, because he had another
spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the
land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. To morrow turn
you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, How long shall I
bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard
the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken
in mine ears, so will I do to you: your carcases shall fall in this
wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole
number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against
me, doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I
sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and
Joshua the son of Nun. But your little ones, which ye said should be
a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye
have despised. But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this
wilderness. After the number of the days in which ye searched the land,
even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities,
even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. I the LORD
have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that
are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be
consumed, and there they shall die.
And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and
made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a
slander upon the land, even those men that did bring up the evil report
upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. But Joshua the son
of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went
to search the land, lived still. And Moses told these sayings unto all
the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
