Numbers 14:23-30

23not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.

24But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.

25Since the Amalekites and the Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.”

26The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:

27“How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.

28So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:

29In this wilderness your bodies will fall—every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.

30Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
