Numbers 14:13-39

131But MosesH4872 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “Then the EgyptiansH4714 will hearH8085 of it, for by Your strengthH3581 You broughtH5927 thisH2088 peopleH5971 upH5927 from their midstH7130, 14and they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2088 landH776. They have heardH8085 that You, LordH3068, are in the midstH7130 of thisH2088 peopleH5971, becauseH834 2You, LordH3068, are seenH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, while Your cloudH6051 standsH5975 overH5921 them; and You goH1980 beforeH6440 them in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915. 15Now if You putH4191 thisH2088 peopleH5971 toH4191 deathH4191 3allH376 at onceH259, 4then the nationsH1471 whoH834 have heardH8085 of Your fameH8088 will 5sayH559, 16‘SinceH4480 the LordH3068 6couldH3201 not bringH935 thisH2088 peopleH5971 into the landH776 whichH834 He promisedH7650 them byH7650 oathH7650, He slaughteredH7819 them in the wildernessH4057.’ 17So nowH6258, pleaseH4994, let the powerH3581 of the LordH136 beH1431 greatH1431, justH3512 asH3512 You have declaredH1696, sayingH559, 18‘7The LordH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639 and abundantH7227 in mercyH2617, forgivingH5375 wrongdoingH5771 and violationH6588 of His Law; but 8He will byH5352 noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 the guilty unpunishedH5352, 9inflictingH6485 the 10punishmentH5771 of the fathersH1 on the childrenH1121 11to the thirdH8029 and the fourthH7256 generations.’ 19PleaseH4994 12forgiveH5545 the guiltH5771 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 in accordance with the greatnessH1433 of Your mercyH2617, justH3512 asH3512 You also have forgivenH5375 thisH2088 peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even untilH5704 nowH2008.”

20So the LordH3068 saidH559, “13I have forgivenH5545 them in accordance with your wordH1697; 21howeverH199, 14as I liveH2416, 1516allH3605 the earthH776 will be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068. 22CertainlyH3588 17allH3605 the peopleH376 who have seenH7200 My gloryH3519 and My signsH226 whichH834 I performedH6213 in EgyptH4714 and in the wildernessH4057, yet 18have putH5254 Me toH5254 theH5254 testH5254 theseH2088 tenH6235 timesH6471 and have not listenedH8085 to My voiceH6963, 2319shall by noH518 meansH518 seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to their fathersH1, norH3808 shall anyH3605 of those who wereH5006 disrespectfulH5006 to Me seeH7200 it. 24But as for My servantH5650 CalebH3612, 20becauseH6118 he has hadH1961H5973 a differentH312 spiritH7307 and has followedH310 Me fullyH4390, 21I will bringH935 him into the landH776 whichH834 he 22enteredH935, and his 23descendantsH2233 shall takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it. 2524Now the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 liveH3427 in the valleysH6010; turnH6437 tomorrowH4279 and setH5265 outH5265 for the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 of the 25RedH5488 SeaH3220.”

26The LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175 again, sayingH559, 27“HowH4970 longH5704H4970 shall I put up with thisH2088 evilH7451 congregationH5712 whoH834 are 26grumblingH3885 againstH5921 Me? I have heardH8085 the complaintsH8519 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 whichH834 they are 27voicingH3885 againstH5921 Me. 28SayH559 to them, ‘28As I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘justH3512 asH3512 29you have spokenH1696 in My hearingH241, soH3651 I will doH6213 to you; 2930your deadH6297 bodiesH6297 will fallH5307 in thisH2088 wildernessH4057, allH3605 31your 32numberedH6485 men according to your completeH3605 numberH4557 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, whoH834 have grumbledH3885 againstH5921 Me. 30By noH518 meansH518 will you comeH935 into the landH776 whereH834 I 33sworeH5375H3027 to settleH7931 you, 34exceptH3588H518 for CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. 3135Your childrenH2945, however, whomH834 you saidH559 would becomeH1961 plunderH957--I will bringH935 them inH935, and they will knowH3045 the landH776 whichH834 you have rejectedH3988. 3236But as for you, your deadH6297 bodiesH6297 will fallH5307 in thisH2088 wildernessH4057. 33Also, your sonsH1121 will be shepherdsH7462 in the wildernessH4057 for 37fortyH705 yearsH8141, and they will 38sufferH5375 for your unfaithfulnessH2184, untilH5704 your bodiesH6297 perishH8552 in the wildernessH4057. 34In accordance with the 39numberH4557 of daysH3117 that you spiedH8446 outH8446 the landH776, fortyH705 daysH3117, for everyH3117 dayH3117 you shall sufferH5375 the punishmentH5771 forH5771 your 40guiltH5771 a yearH8141, that is, fortyH705 yearsH8141, and you will knowH3045 My oppositionH8569. 3541I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696, I certainlyH518H3808 will doH6213 thisH2088 to allH3605 thisH2088 evilH7451 congregationH5712 who are gatheredH3259 togetherH3259 againstH5921 Me. They shall beH8552 wornH8552 outH8552 in thisH2088 wildernessH4057, and thereH8033 they shall dieH4191.’”

3642As for the menH376 whomH834 MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spyH8446 outH8446 the landH776, and who returnedH7725 and led allH3605 the congregationH5712 to grumbleH3885 againstH5921 him by bringingH3318 a badH1681 reportH1681 aboutH5921 the landH776, 3743those menH376 who broughtH3318 the badH7451 reportH1681 of the landH776 also diedH4191 by a 44plagueH4046 in the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068. 38But JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 remainedH2421 aliveH2421 out of thoseH1992 menH376 who wentH1980 to spyH8446 outH8446 the landH776.

39Now when MosesH4872 spokeH1696 45theseH428 wordsH1697 to allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 46the peopleH5971 mournedH56 greatlyH3966.
