Context of Numbers 14:22

20Then the Lord said, “I have forgiven them as you asked. 21But truly, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord. For all the people have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted me now these ten times, and have not obeyed me, 23they will by no means see the land that I swore to their fathers, nor will any of them who despised me see it. 24Only my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit and has followed me fully – I will bring him into the land where he had gone, and his descendants will possess it.
