Numbers 14:19-33

¹⁹(so) I 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. (And the Lord said, I now forgive them, because of thy words.)

²¹And as soothly (as) I live; and the glory of the Lord shall be filled in all the earth; (But as truly as I live, the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth;)

²²nevertheless all the men that saw my majesty, and my signs, (and wonders), which I did in Egypt and (here) 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. (But I shall lead my servant Caleb, who was full of another spirit and followed me, into this land, which he went about, and his descendants shall possess it.)

²⁵For Amalek and Canaanites dwell in the valleys, tomorrow move ye the tents, and turn ye again into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. (For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in these valleys, tomorrow move ye your tents, and return ye to the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, or the Sea of Reeds.)

²⁶And the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron, and said,

²⁷How long groucheth this worst multitude against me? I have heard the grouching plaints of the sons of Israel. (How long grumbleth this worst multitude against me? I have heard all the grumbling and the complaints of the Israelites.)

²⁸Therefore say thou to them, (As) I live, saith the Lord; as ye spake while I heard, so I shall do to you;

²⁹your carrions, or dead bodies, shall lie in this wilderness. All ye that be numbered, from twenty years and above, and have grouched against me, (all your corpses shall lie here in this wilderness. All ye who be listed, or registered, from twenty years of age and older, and have grumbled against me,)

³⁰shall not enter into the land, upon which I have raised (up) mine hand, that I should make you to dwell there (or where I would have you live), except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

³¹Forsooth I shall lead in your little children, of which ye said that they should be preys, either ravens, to (thine) enemies, that they see the land which displeased you. (But I shall lead in your little children, they of whom ye said would become your enemies’ spoils, so that they can have the land which hath so displeased you.)

³²Forsooth your carrions shall lie in the wilderness; (But your corpses shall lie here in this wilderness;)

³³your sons shall be walkers-about in the desert by forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, till the carrions of their fathers be wasted in (the) desert, (your sons shall be wanderers in this wilderness for forty years, and they shall bear your punishment, until their fathers’ corpses be wasted in this wilderness,)
