Numbers 14:27-34

²⁷“How much longer are these wicked people going to criticize me? I've heard what they're saying, making complaints against me.

²⁸Go and tell them, ‘As I live, declares the Lord, I'll do just what I heard you say you wanted, believe me!

²⁹All of you will die in this desert, everyone who was registered in the census that counted those aged twenty or over, because you made complaints against me.

³⁰Absolutely none of you will enter the country I promised to give you to live in, except for Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun.

³¹However, I will take your children—those you said would be taken away as plunder—into the country you rejected, and they will appreciate it.

³²But you—you are all going to die in this desert.

³³Your children will wander in the desert for forty years, suffering because of your lack of trust until all your bodies lie buried in the desert.

³⁴Just as you explored the country for forty days, so shall your punishment for your sins be forty years, a year for every day, and you will see what happens when I oppose you.
