6But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments,
7And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good:
8If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey.
9Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not.
10And when all the multitude cried out, and would have stoned them, the glory of the Lord appeared over the tabernacle of the covenant to all the children of Israel.
11And the Lord said to Moses: How long will this people detract me? how long will they not believe me for all the signs that I have wrought before them?
12I will strike them therefore with pestilence, and will consume them: but thee I will make a ruler over a great nation, and a mightier than this is.
13And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people,
14And the inhabitants of this land, (who have heard that thou, O Lord, art among this people, and art seen face to face, and thy cloud protecteth them, and thou goest before them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night,)
15May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say:
16He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness.
17Let their the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying:
18The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place.
20And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word.
21As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,
23Shall not see the land for which I aware to their fathers, neither shall any one of them that hath detracted me behold it.
24My servant Caleb, who being full of another spirit hath followed me, I will bring into this land which he hath gone round: and his seed shall possess it.
25For the Amalecite and the Chanaanite dwell in the valleys. Tomorrow remove the camp, and return into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
26And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
27How long doth this wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.
28Say therefore to them: As I live, saith the Lord: According as you have spoken in my hearing, so will I do to you.
29In the wilderness shall your carcasses lie. All you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, and have murmured against me,
30Shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my bend to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.
31But your children, of whom you said, that they should be a prey to the enemies, will I bring in: that they may see the land which you have despised.
32Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
33Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed ill the desert,
