Numbers 14:28-35 ▼

28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD {YHWH}, I will do to you⁺ exactly as I heard you⁺ say.

29 Your⁺ bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you⁺ have grumbled against Me.

30 Surely none of you⁺ will enter the land in which I swore to settle you⁺, except Caleb (dog) son of Jephunneh (He will be facing) and Joshua (YHWH saves) son of Nun (fish / posterity).

31 But I will bring your⁺ children, whom you⁺ said would become plunder, into the land you⁺ have rejected—and they will enjoy it.

32 As for you⁺, however, your⁺ bodies will fall in this wilderness.

33 Your⁺ children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your⁺ unfaithfulness until the last of your⁺ bodies lies in the wilderness.

34 In keeping with the forty days you⁺ spied out the land, you⁺ shall bear your⁺ guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you⁺ will experience My alienation.

35 I, the LORD {YHWH}, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
