Numbers 14:29

Then Moses spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

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

For Yahweh had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

‘None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully,

“Then Yahweh heard the sound of your words, and He was angry and swore an oath, saying,

“Now the time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the brook Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war came to an end from within the camp, as Yahweh had sworn to them.

For the sons of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, were completely destroyed because they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh, to whom Yahweh had sworn that He would not let them see the land which Yahweh had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

“Let his own eyes see his decay, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror.

“Therefore I swore in My anger, They shall never enter into My rest.”

So He swore to them To make them fall in the wilderness,

“For I, Yahweh, will speak, and whatever word I speak will be done. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and do it,” declares Lord Yahweh.’”

and I will purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am Yahweh.

Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased. For they were struck down in the wilderness.

And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
