14:26¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

14:28Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

14:29Your 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,

14:30Doubtless 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.

14:31But 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.

14:32But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

14:33And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

14:34After 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.
