And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, (14:26)

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 against me. (14:27)

Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: (14:28)

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 against me, (14:29)

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. (14:30)

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. (14:31)

But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. (14:32)

And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. (14:33)

After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. (14:34)

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. (14:35)

And the men, 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, (14:36)

Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord. (14:37)

But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still]. (14:38)

And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. (14:39)

And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here], and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned. (14:40)

And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper. (14:41)

Go not up, for the Lord [is] not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. (14:42)

For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you. (14:43)

But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. (14:44)

Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, [even] unto Hormah. (14:45)
