Context of Numbers 14:28
26The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 27“How long must I bear with this evil congregation that murmurs against me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites that they murmured against me. Say to them, ‘As I live, says the Lord, I will surely do to you just what you have spoken in my hearing. 29Your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness – all those of you who were numbered, according to your full number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me. 30You will by no means enter into the land where I swore to settle you. The only exceptions are Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
