23 Surely they shall not see HaAretz which I swore unto their avot, neither shall any of them that treated Me with contempt see it:

Bamidbar 14:23 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:23

Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their
fathers
Not possess and enjoy the land of Canaan, which the Lord by an oath had promised their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to their seed; and now he swears that these men, who had so often tempted him, and been disobedient to him, should not inherit it; so the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem take it for an oath; see ( Hebrews 3:11 Hebrews 3:18 ) ;

neither shall any of them that provoked me see it;
that provoked him by the ill report they had brought of the land, by their unbelief, by their murmurings, and mutiny.

Bamidbar 14:23 In-Context

21 But as surely as I live, Kol HaAretz (all the Earth) shall be filled with the Kavod Hashem.
22 Because all those men which have seen My kavod, and My otot (miraculous signs), which I performed in Mitzrayim and in the midbar, and have tested Me now these ten times, and have not paid heed to My voice;
23 Surely they shall not see HaAretz which I swore unto their avot, neither shall any of them that treated Me with contempt see it:
24 But Avdi Kalev, because he hath a ruach acheret in him, and hath followed after Me fully, him will I bring into HaAretz whereinto he went; and his zera shall inherit it.
25 (Now the Amaleki and the Kena’ani dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn and get you into the midbar by the way of the Yam Suph.
