26
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:
27 "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me.
27
“How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
28 Say to them, 'As I live,' says the Lord, 'just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you:
28
So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:
29 The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.
29
In 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.
30 Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in.
30
Not 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.
31 But your little ones, whom you said would be victims, I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.
31
As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.
32 But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
32
But as for you, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33 And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness.
33
Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
34 According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection.
34
For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’
