Say to them, As I live, says Jehovah, just as you have spoken in My ears, so I will do to you:

The carcasses of you who have grumbled against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

Take a head count of the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and above, by their fathers' houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel.

But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

For Jehovah had said of them, They shall die the death in the wilderness. Thus there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

And the time that passed from Kadesh Barnea until we had crossed over the valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, for all the generation of the men of war to be finished off from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn to them.

For indeed the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they were consumed.

But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his seed shall possess it.

Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I raised My hand and swore to make you dwell there.

Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.

And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and of your sons perpetually, because you have fully followed Jehovah my God.
