Deuteronomy 2:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ “‘Now cross Zered Brook,’ the Lord said; and we did.

^14-15 “So it took us thirty-eight years to finally get across Zered Brook from Kadesh! For the Lord had decreed that this could not happen until all the men, who thirty-eight years earlier were old enough to bear arms, had died. Yes, the hand of the Lord was against them until finally all were dead.
