Numbers 14:20-35
God’s Forgiveness and Judgment
20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
20:
21 But [as] truly [as] I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
21:
22 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;
22:
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
23:
24 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.
24:
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
25:
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
26:
27 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.
27:
28 Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
28:
29 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,
29:
30 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.
30:
31 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.
31:
32 But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
32:
33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
33:
34 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.
34:
35 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.
35:
