* And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron , saying , * How long shall I bear with this evil congregation , which murmur against me ? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel , which they murmur against me . * Say unto them , As truly as I live , saith the LORD , as ye have spoken in mine ears , so will I do to you : * Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness ; and all that were numbered of you , according to your whole number , from twenty years old and upward , which have murmured against me , * Doubtless ye shall not come into the land , concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein , save Caleb the son of Jephunneh , and Joshua the son of Nun . * But your little ones , which ye said should be a prey , them will I bring in , and they shall know the land which ye have despised . * But as for you , your carcases , they shall fall in this wilderness . * And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years , and bear your whoredoms , until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness . * After the number of the days in which ye searched the land , even forty days , each day for a year , shall ye bear your iniquities , even forty years , and ye shall know my breach of promise . * I the LORD have said , I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation , that are gathered together against me : in this wilderness they shall be consumed , and there they shall die . * And the men , which Moses sent to search the land , who returned , and made all the congregation to murmur against him , by bringing up a slander upon the land , * Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land , died by the plague before the LORD . * But Joshua the son of Nun , and Caleb the son of Jephunneh , which were of the men that went to search the land , lived still . * And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel : and the people mourned greatly .
