¹⁸ And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

³⁴ And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

³⁵ Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,

⁶ Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

² For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

¹¹ As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

²⁴ Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

²⁵ But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

²⁶ Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²³ And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

²⁶ Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God:

²⁷ and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

²⁸ Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

²⁹ Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

³⁰ Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,

³¹ and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.

³² Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,

¹² And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.

³⁰ surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

²³ surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised me see it:

¹¹ And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
