Numbers 14:21-30

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²¹ Yet as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the Lord’s glory,^{(A) 22} none of the men who have seen my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tested me these ten times and did not obey me, ²³ will ever see the land I swore to give their ancestors.^(B) None of those who have despised me^(C) will see it. ²⁴ But since my servant Caleb has a different spirit and has remained loyal to me, I will bring him into the land where he has gone, and his descendants will inherit it.^{(D) 25} Since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the lowlands,^[a] turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea.’^(E)

²⁶ Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: ²⁷ ‘How long must I endure this evil community that keeps complaining about me? I have heard the Israelites’ complaints that they make against me.^{(F) 28} Tell them: As I live – this is the Lord’s declaration – I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. ²⁹ Your corpses will fall in this wilderness – all of you who were registered in the census, the entire number of you twenty years old or more^(G) – because you have complained about me. ³⁰ I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised^[b] to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
