20 The Lordanswered, "I will forgive them, as you have asked. 21 He 3.18But I promise that as surely as I live and as surely as my presence fills the earth, 22 none of these people will live to enter that land. They have seen the dazzling light of my presence and the miracles that I performed in Egyptand in the wilderness, but they have tried my patience over and over again and have refused to obey me. 23 They will never enter the land which I promised to their ancestors. None of those who have rejected me will ever enter it. 24 Js 14.9-12But because my servant Calebhas a different attitude and has remained loyal to me, I will bring him into the land which he explored, and his descendants will possess the land 25 in whose valleys the Amalekites and the Canaanites now live. Turn back tomorrow and go into the wilderness in the direction of the Gulf of Aqaba."
The Lord Punishes the People for Complaining
26 The Lordsaid to Mosesand Aaron, 27 "How much longer are these wicked people going to complain against me? I have heard enough of these complaints! 28 Now give them this answer: ‘I swear that as surely as I live, I will do to you just what you have asked. I, the Lord, have spoken. 29 He 3.17You will die and your corpses will be scattered across this wilderness. Because you have complained against me, none of you over twenty years of age will enter that land. 30 I promised to let you live there, but not one of you will, except Caleband Joshua. 31 You said that your children would be captured, but I will bring them into the land that you rejected, and it will be their home. 32 You will die here in this wilderness. 33 Ac 7.36Your children will wander in the wilderness for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last one of you dies. 34 You will suffer the consequences of your sin for forty years, one year for each of the forty days you spent exploring the land. You will know what it means to have me against you! 35 I swear that I will do this to you wicked people who have gathered together against me. Here in the wilderness every one of you will die. I, the Lord, have spoken.’"
36,37 The men Moseshad sent to explore the land brought back a false report which caused the people to complain against the Lord. And so the Lordstruck them with a disease, and they died. 38 Of the twelve spies only Joshuaand Calebsurvived.
39 When Mosestold the Israelites what the Lordhad said, they mourned bitterly. 40 Early the next morning they started out to invade the hill country, saying, "Now we are ready to go to the place which the Lordtold us about. We admit that we have sinned."
41 But Mosessaid, "Then why are you disobeying the Lordnow? You will not succeed! 42 Don’t go. The Lordis not with you, and your enemies will defeat you. 43 When you face the Amalekites and the Canaanites, you will die in battle; the Lordwill not be with you, because you have refused to follow him."
44 Yet they still dared to go up into the hill country, even though neither the Lord's Covenant Box nor Mosesleft the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived there attacked and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hormah.
