Context of Numbers 14:22
20Then the Lord said, ‘I have forgiven them as you asked me to do. 21As surely as I live, and all the earth will be full of my glory, I tell you this. All these people have seen my glory. They have seen the miracles that I did in Egypt and in the desert. But they have tested me many times now to see if I would punish them. They still do not obey me. 23So I tell you, none of them will ever see the land that I promised to give to their ancestors. None of those men who did not trust me will see that place. 24But my servant Caleb has thought differently, and he has obeyed me completely. So I will bring him into the land that he explored. It will belong to his descendants.
