14:19Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

14:20And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

14:21But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

14:22Because 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;

14:23Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

14:24But 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.
