Numbers 14:15-24

¹⁵that thou hast slain so great a multitude as one man, and say,

¹⁶He might not bring this people into the land for which he swore to give to them, therefore he killed them in wilderness;

¹⁷therefore the strength of the Lord be magnified, or made great, as thou hast sworn,

¹⁸The Lord is patient, and of much mercy, doing away wickedness and trespasses, and leaving no man unguilty, which visitest the sins of fathers into sons into the third and fourth generation,

¹⁹I beseech thee, forgive thou the sin of this thy people, after the greatness of thy mercy, as thou were merciful to them going out of Egypt till to this place.

²⁰And the Lord said, I have forgiven to them, by thy word.

²¹And as soothly I live; and the glory of the Lord shall be filled in all the earth;

²²nevertheless all the men that saw my majesty, and my signs, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now by ten times, and obeyed not to my voice,

²³shall not see the land for which I swore to their fathers, neither any of them that backbited me, shall see it.

²⁴I shall lead my servant Caleb, that was full of another spirit and followed me, into this land, which he compassed, and his seed shall wield it.
