²⁴ They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;

⁶ In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:

³² But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,

³¹ And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

¹⁸ And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

¹⁹ So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.

¹⁹ But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.

⁵ Now it is my purpose to put you in mind, though you once had knowledge of all these things, of how the Lord, having taken a people safely out of Egypt, later sent destruction on those who had no faith;

¹⁶ And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food.

¹⁴ Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

⁶ So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

² And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

¹² My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

⁵ But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade:

¹¹ But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

¹² A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

²³ And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take the land which I have given you; you went against the orders of the Lord your God, and had no faith in him, and would not give ear to his voice.

⁷ For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;

⁸ A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;

⁹ Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

³² And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

³⁴ Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
