Numbers 32:11 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:11

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty
years old and upwards
See ( Numbers 14:28 Numbers 14:29 ) .

shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob;
the land of Canaan, which at various times he sware to give to them, and to their posterity:

because they have not wholly followed me;

Numbers 32:11 In-Context

9 They went as far as the Eshcol Valley and saw the land. But then they discouraged the rest of the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.

10 That day the LORD became angry and swore this oath,

11 'None of the people 20 years old or older, who came from Egypt, will see the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with an oath. This is because they didn't wholeheartedly follow me.'

12 Only Caleb (son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite) and Joshua (son of Nun) will get to see the land. This is because they wholeheartedly followed the LORD.

13 Since the LORD was angry with the Israelites, he made them wander in the desert for 40 years until the whole generation of those who had done evil in the LORD's presence was gone.
