Numbers 14:17-24

¹⁷So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,

¹⁸‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish LIT people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’

¹⁹So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”

²⁰Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.

²¹But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world can see my ◄glory/glorious power►, I solemnly declare this:

²²All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them.

²³Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors that I would give to them. No one who rejected me will see that land.

²⁴But Caleb, who serves me well, is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.
