Numbers 14:15-24

¹⁵Now if Thou shalt kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard the fame of Thy power will speak, saying:

¹⁶Because there was not strength (enough) before the Lord to bring this people into the land which He covenanted to them, He hath killed them in the desert.

¹⁷And now I beseech, let power be magnified from before the Lord, as Thou hast thus spoken, saying:

¹⁸The Lord is far from anger, and great in performing goodness and truth: forgiving iniquity and rebellion and sins, pardoning them who return unto His law: but acquitting not them who will not, turn, (but) visiting the sins of the fathers upon the rebellious children unto the third and unto the fourth generation.

¹⁹Pardon, I beseech, the sins of this people according to the amplitude of Thy goodness, and as Thou hast forgiven this people from Mizraim until now.

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

²¹Yet, as I live, with the glory of the Lord shall all the earth be filled.

²²Because all these men who have seen My glory, and the signs I wrought in Mizraim and in the desert, but have tempted before Me these ten times, and have not been obedient to My Word,

²³if they shall see the land which I covenanted to their fathers, nor shall any see it who have provoked before Me.

²⁴But My servant Kaleb, for that there was in him another spirit, and that he hath wholly followed (in) My fear, him will I bring into the land whither he went, and his children shall possess it.
