Numbers 14:29-45

29Your bodiesH6297 will fallH5307 in thisH2088 wildernessH4057—allH3605 who were numberedH6485 in the censusH4557, everyoneH3605 twentyH6242 years of ageH1121H8141 or olderH4605—becauseH834 you have grumbledH3885 against MeH5921.

30Surely noneH518 of youH859 will enterH935H413 the landH776 in whichH834 I sworeH5375 to settle youH7931, exceptH3588H518 CalebH3612 sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 and JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126. 31But I will bring your childrenH2945, whomH834 you saidH559 would becomeH1961 plunderH957, intoH935 the landH776 you have rejectedH3988—and they will enjoy itH3045. 32As for youH859, however, your bodiesH6297 will fallH5307 in thisH2088 wildernessH4057.

33Your childrenH1121 will beH1961 shepherdsH7462 in the wildernessH4057 for fortyH705 yearsH8141, and they will sufferH5375 for your unfaithfulnessH2184 until the lastH5704 of your bodiesH6297 liesH8552 in the wildernessH4057. 34In keeping with theH4557 fortyH705 daysH3117 you spiedH8446 out the landH776, you shall bearH5375 your guiltH5771 fortyH705 yearsH8141—a yearH8141 for each dayH8141—and you will experienceH3045 My alienationH8569.

35IH589, the LORDH3068, have spokenH1696, and I will surelyH518H3808 doH6213 these thingsH2063 to this entireH3605 wickedH7451H2063 congregationH5712, which has conspiredH3259 against MeH5921. They will meet their endH8552 in the wildernessH4057H2088, and thereH8033 they will dieH4191.”

36So the menH582 MosesH4872 had sentH7971 to spy outH8446 the landH776, whoH834 had returnedH7725 and made the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 grumbleH3885 against himH5921 by bringing outH3318 a bad reportH1681 aboutH5921 the landH776— 37those menH582 who had brought outH3318 the badH7451 reportH1681 about the landH776—were struck downH4191 by a plagueH4046 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 38OfH4480 thoseH1992 menH376 who had goneH1980 to spy outH8446 the landH776, only JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126 and CalebH3612 sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 remained aliveH2421.

39And when MosesH4872 relayedH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 toH413 allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, the peopleH5971 mournedH56 bitterlyH3966.

40Early the next morningH1242 they got upH7925 and went upH5927 towardH413 the ridgeH7218 of the hill countryH2022. “We have indeedH2005 sinnedH2398,” they saidH559, “but we will goH5927 toH413 the placeH4725 the LORDH3068 has promisedH559.”

41But MosesH4872 saidH559, “WhyH4100H2088 are youH859 transgressingH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068? ThisH1931 will notH3808 succeedH6743! 42Do notH408 go upH5927, lestH3808 you be struck downH5062 byH6440 your enemiesH341, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 is notH369 among youH7130. 43ForH3588 thereH8033 the AmalekitesH6003 and CanaanitesH3669 will face youH6440, and you will fallH5307 by the swordH2719. BecauseH3588H5921H3651 you have turnedH7725 awayH310 from the LORDH3068, He will notH3808 beH1961 with youH5973.”

44But they daredH6075 to go upH5927 toH413 the ridgeH7218 of the hill countryH2022, though neitherH3808 MosesH4872 nor the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 movedH4185 fromH7130 the campH4264. 45Then the AmalekitesH6003 and CanaanitesH3669 who livedH3427 in thatH1931 part of the hill countryH2022 came downH3381, attacked themH5221, and routed themH3807 all the wayH5704 to HormahH2767.
