²³ surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:

¹¹ Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

⁶⁴ But among these there was not a man of them who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

¹⁵ Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

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

³⁶ save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.

³⁷ Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in there:

³⁸ Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

³⁹ Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

⁴⁰ But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.

⁴¹ Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.

⁴² Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don't go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.

⁴³ So I spoke to you, and you didn't listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.

⁴⁴ The Amorites, who lived in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

⁴⁵ You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn't listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you.

²³ Their children also multiplied you as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you did say to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

¹¹ Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."

²⁶ Therefore he swore to them That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

¹⁷ With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸ To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

³ For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
