Numbers 14:11-38

Numbers 14:11-38

[11] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  How long will this people  provoke  me? and how long will it be ere  they believe  me, for all the signs  which I have shewed  among  them? [12] I will smite  them with the pestilence,  and disinherit  them, and will make  of thee a greater  nation  and mightier  [13] And Moses  said  unto the LORD,  shall hear  it, (for thou broughtest up  this people  in thy might  from among  [14] And they will tell  it to the inhabitants  of this land:  for they have heard  that thou LORD  art among  this people,  that thou LORD  art seen  face  and that thy cloud  standeth  over them, and that thou goest  before  them, by day time  in a pillar  of a cloud,  and in a pillar  of fire  by night.  [15] Now if thou shalt kill  all this people  as one  man,  then the nations  which have heard  the fame  of thee will speak,  [16] Because the LORD  was not  able  to bring  this people  into the land  which he sware  unto them, therefore he hath slain  them in the wilderness.  [17] And now, I beseech thee, let the power  of my Lord  be great,  according  as thou hast spoken,  saying,  [18] The LORD  is longsuffering,  and of great  mercy,  forgiving  iniquity  and transgression,  and by no means  the guilty, visiting  the iniquity  of the fathers  upon the children  unto the third  and fourth  [19] Pardon,  I beseech thee, the iniquity  of this people  according unto the greatness  of thy mercy,  and as thou hast forgiven  this people,  from Egypt  even until now.  [20] And the LORD  said,  I have pardoned  according to thy word:  [21] But as truly  as I live,  all the earth  shall be filled  with the glory  of the LORD.  [22] Because all those men  which have seen  my glory,  and my miracles,  which I did  in Egypt  and in the wilderness,  and have tempted  me now these ten  times,  and have not hearkened  to my voice;  [23] Surely they shall not  see  the land  which I sware  unto their fathers,  neither shall any of them that provoked  me see  [24] But my servant  Caleb,  because  he had another  spirit  with him, and hath followed  me fully,  him will I bring  into the land  whereinto he went;  and his seed  shall possess  [25] (Now the Amalekites  and the Canaanites  dwelt  in the valley.)  To morrow  turn  you, and get  you into the wilderness  by the way  of the Red  sea.  [26] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses  and unto Aaron,  saying,  [27] How long shall I bear with this evil  congregation,  which murmur  against me? I have heard  the murmurings  of the children  of Israel,  which they murmur  [28] Say  unto them, As truly as  I live,  saith  the LORD,  as ye have spoken  in mine ears,  so will I do  to you: [29] Your carcases  shall fall  in this wilderness;  and all that were numbered  of you, according to your whole number,  from twenty  years  old  and upward,  which have murmured  [30] Doubtless ye shall not  come  into the land,  concerning which I sware  to make you dwell  therein, save Caleb  the son  of Jephunneh,  and Joshua  the son  of Nun.  [31] But your little ones,  which ye said  should be a prey,  them will I bring in,  and they shall know  the land  which ye have despised.  [32] But as for you, your carcases,  they shall fall  in this wilderness.  [33] And your children  shall wander  in the wilderness  forty  years,  and bear  your whoredoms,  until your carcases  be wasted  in the wilderness.  [34] After the number  of the days  in which ye searched  the land,  even forty  days,  for a year,  shall ye bear  your iniquities,  even forty  years,  and ye shall know  my breach of promise.  [35] I the LORD  have said,  I will surely  do  it  unto all this evil  congregation,  that are gathered together  against me: in this wilderness  they shall be consumed,  and there they shall die.  [36] which Moses  sent  to search  the land,  who returned,  and made all the congregation  to murmur  against him, by bringing up  a slander  upon the land,  [37] Even those  that did bring up  the evil  report  upon the land,  died  by the plague  before  [38] But Joshua  the son  of Nun,  and Caleb  the son  of Jephunneh,  which were of the men  that went  to search  the land,  lived
