Numbers 14:23-30

23None of those who treat me with contempt will see it!

24But because my servant Caleb has a different attitude and has wholeheartedly followed me, I’ll bring him to the land he already explored. His descendants will possess it.

25(The Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys.) Tomorrow you must turn around, go back into the desert, and follow the road that goes to the Red Sea.”

26Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

27“How long must I put up with this wicked community that keeps complaining about me? I’ve heard the complaints the Israelites are making about me.

28So tell them, ‘As I live, declares the Lord, I solemnly swear I will do everything to you that you said I would do.

29Your bodies will drop dead in this desert. All of you who are at least 20 years old, who were registered and listed, and who complained about me will die.

30I raised my hand and swore an oath to give you this land to live in. But none of you will enter it except Caleb (son of Jephunneh) and Joshua (son of Nun).
