Deuteronomy 2:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ ‘Now rise up, and go over the brook Zered.’ So we went over the brook Zered. ¹⁴ And the time from our leaving Ka′desh-bar′nea until we crossed the brook Zered was thirty-eight years, until the entire generation, that is, the men of war, had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them. ¹⁵ For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the camp, until they had perished.
