22	But all those men whiche haue seene my glory, and my miracles whiche I did in Egypt and in the wildernesse, and haue tempted me nowe this ten tymes, and haue not hearkened vnto my voyce:	none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the test these ten times and have not obeyed my voice,	not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times—
23	Shall not see the lande whiche I sware vnto their fathers, neither shall any of them that prouoked me see it.	shall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers.

Now, since the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valleys, turn tomorrow and set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”	Since the Amalekites and the Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.”
26	And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron, saying:	And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,	The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:
27	Howe long doth this euyll multitude murmure agaynst me? I haue hearde the murmuringes of the children of Israel with the whiche they murmure agaynst me.	“How long shall this wicked congregation grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me.	“How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
28	Tell them therefore: As truely as I liue sayeth the Lorde, I wyll do vnto you euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares:	Say to them, ‘As I live, declares the LORD, what you have said in my hearing I will do to you:	So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:
29	Your carkasses shall fall in the wyldernesse: And all you that were tolde throughout your numbers from twentie yeres and aboue, whiche haue murmured against me,	your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and of all your number, listed in the census from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me,	In this wilderness your bodies will fall—every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.
30	Shall not come into the lande ouer which I lifted vp myne hand to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosuah the sonne of Nun.	not one shall come into the land where I swore that I would make you dwell, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.	Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31	But your chyldren whiche ye sayde shoulde be a pray, them I wyll bryng in, and they shall knowe the lande whiche ye haue refused.	But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that you have rejected.	As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.
32	And your carkasses shall fall in this wyldernesse.	But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.	But as for you, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33	And your chyldren shall wander in the wildernesse fourtie yeres, and suffer for your whordome, vntyll your carkasses be wasted in the wyldernesse.	And your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years and shall suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness.	Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
34	After the number of the dayes in whiche ye searched out the lande, euen fourtie dayes, euery day for a yere shal ye beare your vnrighteousnesse, euen fourtie yeres, and ye shall knowe my breache of promise.	According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’	For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’
35	I the Lorde haue sayde, that I wyll do it vnto all this euyll congregation that are gathered together against me: For in this wildernesse they shalbe consumed, and there they shall dye.	I, the LORD, have spoken. Surely this will I do to all this wicked congregation who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.”	I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this whole wicked community, which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this wilderness; here they will die.”
36	And the men whiche Moyses sent to searche the lande, and whiche (when they came agayne) made all the people to murmure against hym, and brought vp a sclaunder vpon the lande:	And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing up a bad report about the land—	So the men Moses had sent to explore the land, who returned and made the whole community grumble against him by spreading a bad report about it—
37	Euen those men that dyd bryng vp that sclaunder vpon it as though it had ben euill, dyed in a great plague before the Lorde.	the men who brought up a bad report of the land—died by plague before the LORD.	these men who were responsible for spreading the bad report about the land were struck down and died of a plague before the LORD.
38	But Iosuah the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephune, whiche were of the men that went to searche the lande, liued styll.	Of those men who went to spy out the land, only Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive.	Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.
39	And Moyses tolde these sayinges vnto all the chyldren of Israel, and the people toke great sorowe.	When Moses told these words to all the people of Israel, the people mourned greatly.	When Moses reported this to all the Israelites, they mourned bitterly.
40	And they rose vp early in the morning, and gate them vp into the toppe of the mountayne, saying: lo, we be here, and wyll go vp vnto the place of which the Lorde sayde: For we haue sinned.	And they rose early in the morning and went up to the heights of the hill country, saying, “Here we are. We will go up to the place that the LORD has promised, for we have sinned.”	Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country, saying, “Now we are ready to go up to the land the LORD promised. Surely we have sinned!”
41	And Moyses sayde: Wherfore transgresse ye thus the worde of the Lorde? it wyll not come well to passe.	But Moses said, “Why now are you transgressing the command of the LORD, when that will not succeed?	But Moses said, “Why are you disobeying the LORD’s command? This will not succeed!
42	Go not vp therefore, for the Lorde is not among you: that ye be not slayne before your enemies.	Do not go up, for the LORD is not among you, lest you be struck down before your enemies.	Do not go up, because the LORD is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies,
43	For the Amalechites and the Chanaanites are there before you, & ye wyll fall vpon the sworde, because ye are turned away from the Lorde, & the Lorde wyll not be with you.	For there the Amalekites and the Canaanites are facing you, and you shall fall by the sword. Because you have turned back from following the LORD, the LORD will not be with you.”	for the Amalekites and the Canaanites will face you there. Because you have turned away from the LORD, he will not be with you and you will fall by the sword.”
44	But they presumed obstinatly to go vp into the hyll top: Neuerthelater, the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde and Moyses, departed not out of the hoast.	But they presumed to go up to the heights of the hill country, although neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses departed out of the camp.	Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up toward the highest point in the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the LORD’s covenant moved from the camp.
45	Then the Amalechites and the Chanaanites which dwelt in that hill, came downe, and smote them, and consumed them euen anto Horma.	Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down and defeated them and pursued them, even to Hormah.	Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah.
