Numbers 14:29-37

English Standard Version

^29 (A)your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and ^(B)of all your number, listed in the census ^(C)from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me, ³⁰ not one shall come into the land where I ^(D)swore that I would make you dwell, ^(E)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. ^31 (F)But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that ^(G)you have rejected. ³² But as for you, ^(H)your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. ³³ And your children ^(I)shall be shepherds in the wilderness ^(J)forty years and shall ^(K)suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness. ^34 (L)According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, ^(M)forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’ ^35 (N)I, the Lord, have spoken. Surely this will I do to all ^(O)this wicked congregation who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.”

^36 (P)And 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— ³⁷ the men who brought up a bad report of the land—^(Q)died by plague before the Lord.
