[14:20] Then the Lord said, “I have pardoned, according to your word.
[14:21] But truly, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord,
[14:22] none 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 ten times and have not obeyed my voice,
[14:23] shall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers. And none of those who despised me shall see it.
[14:24] But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.
[14:25] Now, since the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valleys, turn tomorrow and set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”
[14:26] And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
[14:27] “How long shall this wicked congregation grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me.
[14:28] Say to them, ‘As I live, declares the Lord, what you have said in my hearing I will do to you:
[14:29] your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and of all your number, listed in the census from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me,
[14:30] not one shall come into the land where I swore that I would make you dwell, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
[14:31] But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that you have rejected.
[14:32] But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
[14:33] And your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years and shall suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness.
[14:34] According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’
[14:35] I, the Lord, have spoken. Surely this will I do to all this wicked congregation who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.”
[14:36] 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—
[14:37] the men who brought up a bad report of the land—died by plague before the Lord.
[14:38] Of those men who went to spy out the land, only Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive.
