Numbers 26:65

For the Lord had said of them, they shall surely die in the

This was threatened them, ( Numbers 14:32 ) and now it was fulfilled:

and there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
and Joshua the son of Nun;
the only two of the spies that brought a good report of the land of Canaan; all the rest of them, and those that murmured on the ill report of theirs, were now dead.
