Numbers 14:20-35
1599 Geneva Bible
20 And the Lord said, I have forgiven [a]it, according to thy request.
21 Notwithstanding, as I live, all the earth, shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 For all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles which I did in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this [b]ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,
23 Certainly they shall not see the land, whereof I sware unto their fathers: neither shall any that provoke me, see it.
24 But my servant (A)Caleb, because he had another [c]spirit, and hath followed me still, even him will I bring into the land, whither he went, and his seed shall inherit it.
25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites [d]remain in the valley: wherefore turn back tomorrow, and get you into the [e]wilderness, by the way of the red sea.
26 ¶ After, the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 (B)How long shall I suffer this wicked multitude to murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Tell them, As I (C)live (saith the Lord) I will surely do unto you, even as ye have spoken in mine ears.
29 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, and all you that were (D)counted through all your numbers, from twenty years old and above, which have murmured against me,
30 Ye shall not doubtless come into the land, for the which I (E)lifted up mine hand, to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 But your children (which ye said should be a prey) them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused:
32 But even your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
33 And your children shall [f]wander in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your [g]whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
34 After the number of the days in the which ye searched out the land, even forty days, (F)every day for a year, shall you bear your iniquity, for (G)forty years, and ye [h]shall feel my breach of promise.
35 I the Lord have said, Certainly I will do so to all this wicked company that are gathered together against me: for in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
