Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.
How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.
For the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, were still living.
