Pure Cambridge Edition selected
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
¶ And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
And the Lord’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

    18And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

    19And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;

    20And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

    24The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

    27And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

    36Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the Lord.

    8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

    9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

    10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

    11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

    12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

    13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

    14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

    15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

    16For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

    17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

    18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

    19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
