Numbers 32:9-13
New International Version
9 After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol(A) and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them. 10 The Lord’s anger was aroused(B) that day and he swore this oath:(C) 11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more(D) when they came up out of Egypt(E) will see the land I promised on oath(F) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(G)— 12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.’(H) 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel(I) and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.(J)
Deuteronomy 1:26-36
New International Version
Rebellion Against the Lord
26 But you were unwilling to go up;(A) you rebelled(B) against the command of the Lord your God. 27 You grumbled(C) in your tents and said, “The Lord hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us. 28 Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt in fear. They say, ‘The people are stronger and taller(D) than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites(E) there.’”
29 Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid(F) of them.(G) 30 The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight(H) for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, 31 and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried(I) you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”(J)
32 In spite of this,(K) you did not trust(L) in the Lord your God, 33 who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day,(M) to search(N) out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
34 When the Lord heard(O) what you said, he was angry(P) and solemnly swore:(Q) 35 “No one from this evil generation shall see the good land(R) I swore to give your ancestors, 36 except Caleb(S) son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly.(T)”
