Numbers 14:26-35
v. 26-35: God made His decision public. All the adults who had complained would die in the wilderness over forty years, one year for each day the spies were in Canaan. Their children, whom they thought would be victims, would enter the promised land instead (Num. 14:26-35; Num. 14:31 a). God’s promise to Abraham would still be kept, but only for the next generation.Lessons from God’s Judgment and Mercy: God is quick to forgive when people pray, but He is also just and will punish unbelief. Those who trust and follow God fully, like Caleb and Joshua, will receive His blessings. Even when God punishes, He keeps His promises and shows mercy to the innocent. – – – – – – – – –
