Numbers 14:22-38

22 anone of the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the test these bten times and have not obeyed my voice, 23 cshall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers. And none of those who despised me shall see it. 24But my servant dCaleb, because he has a different spirit and has efollowed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it. 25 fNow, since the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valleys, gturn tomorrow and set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”

26And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 27How long shall hthis wicked congregation grumble against me? iI have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me. 28Say to them, j‘As I live, declares the Lord, kwhat you have said in my hearing I will do to you: 29 lyour dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and mof all your number, listed in the census nfrom twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me, 30not one shall come into the land where I oswore that I would make you dwell, pexcept Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 qBut your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that ryou have rejected. 32But as for you, syour dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 33And your children tshall be shepherds in the wilderness uforty years and shall vsuffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness. 34 wAccording to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, xforty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’ 35 yI, the Lord, have spoken. Surely this will I do to all zthis wicked congregation who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.”

36 aaAnd the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing up a bad report about the land 37the men who brought up a bad report of the landabdied by plague before the Lord. 38Of those men who went to spy out the land, aconly Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive.
