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

14:27How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

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.

14:35I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

14:36And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,

14:37Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.

14:38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

14:39And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
