Context of Numbers 14:35

33Your children will be shepherds in the desert for 40 years. They will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies dead in the desert. 34For 40 days you explored the land. So for 40 years—one year for each day—you will suffer for your sins and know what it means for me to be against you.’ I, the Lord, have spoken. I swear I will do these things to all the people in this whole wicked community who have joined forces against me. They will meet their end in this desert. Here they will die!” 36So the men Moses sent to explore the land died in front of the Lord from a plague. 37They died because they had returned and made the whole community complain about Moses by spreading lies about the land.
