Numbers 14:17-24

¹⁷And now, I beseech thee, let the greatness of the power of the Lord be made manifest, as thou hast spoken, saying,

¹⁸The Eternal is long-suffering, and abundant in beneficence, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

¹⁹Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of thy beneficence, and as thou hast been indulgent to this people, from Egypt even until hitherto.

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

²¹But as truly as I live, and as all the earth is filled with the glory of the Lord:—

²²That all the men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I have displayed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,

²³Shall surely not see the land which I have sworn unto their fathers, yea all those that have provoked me shall not see it.

²⁴But my servant Caleb, as a reward that he had another spirit with him, and followed me fully,—therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
