Numbers 14 — Context

25

(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites were living in the valleys.) Tomorrow, turn and journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”

26

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

27

“How long must I bear with this evil congregation that murmurs against me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites that they murmured against me.

28

Say to them,‘As I live, says the LORD, I will surely do to you just what you have spoken in my hearing.

29

Your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness– all those of you who were numbered, according to your full number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me.

30

You will by no means enter into the land where I swore to settle you. The only exceptions are Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

31

But I will bring in your little ones, whom you said would become victims of war, and they will enjoy the land that you have despised.
