Numbers [In the desert] 14:22-40

²²because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt Abode of slavery and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice;

²³surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it.

²⁴But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess it.

²⁵Since the Amalekite Descendant of Man who licks up and the Canaanite Descendant of Humbled dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf Reed Sea.” (4)

²⁶Adonai spoke to Moses Drawn out and to Aaron Light-bringer, saying,

²⁷“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel God prevails, which they murmur against me.

²⁸Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai , surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.

²⁹Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,

³⁰surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua Salvation Yah the son of Nun.

³¹But your little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

³²But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

³³Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.

³⁴After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’

³⁵I, Adonai , have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”

³⁶The men, whom Moses Drawn out sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely returned·, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,

³⁷even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Adonai .

³⁸But Joshua Salvation Yah the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

³⁹Moses Drawn out told these words to all the children of Israel God prevails, and the people mourned greatly.

⁴⁰They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned.”
