Numbers 14:37-43

³⁷those men who gave the bad report died before the Lord from plague.

³⁸The only ones who lived were Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh of those who went to explore the country.

³⁹When Moses told the Israelites what the Lord had said they were very, very sad.

⁴⁰They got up early the next morning planning to go into the hill country. “Yes we really did sin,” they said, “but now we're here and we'll go where the Lord told us.”

⁴¹But Moses objected. “Why are you disobeying the Lord's command? You won't succeed in your plan!

⁴²Don't try and go, otherwise you will be killed by your enemies, because the Lord isn't with you.

⁴³The Amalekites and Canaanites living there will attack you, and you will die by the sword. Because you rejected the Lord, he won't help you.”
