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:

    24And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

    25And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us.

    26Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God:

    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.

    28Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

  2. Deuteronomy 1:34–40Rank 2 from verse 10
    Open

    34And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

    35Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,

    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.

    37Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

    38But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

    39Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

    40But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

  4. Hebrews 3:8–19Rank 4 from verse 10
    Open

    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.
