¹⁰ Yahweh's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,

¹¹ Yahweh said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?

²¹ but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh;

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

²⁹ your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,

³⁴ Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

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.

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

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;

⁸ Don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

⁹ Where your fathers tested me by proving me, And saw my works for forty years.

¹⁰ Therefore I was displeased with that generation, And said, 'They always err in their heart, But they didn't know my ways;'

¹¹ As I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"

¹² Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

¹³ but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

¹⁴ For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

¹⁵ while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, Don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."

¹⁶ For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

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?

¹⁹ We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
