(It takes eleven days to get from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.)

So we set out from Horeb, and went through all that great and dreadful wilderness which you have seen on the way to the mountains of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.

So you remained in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained there.

And they departed and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

And Jehovah heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

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

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

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.

But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.

According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your iniquities one year; forty years; and you shall know My opposition.

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.

Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me,

You return man to dust, and say, Return, O sons of men.

For all our days have turned away in Your wrath; we finish our years with a sigh.

So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.

So I also raised My hand and swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all the earth,

do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.

Beware, brethren, that there not be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in withdrawing from the living God;

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the origin of our Foundation steadfast to the end,

For some who came out of Egypt through Moses, however not all, having heard, provoked.

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
