Numbers 14:33Modern English VersionYour children will be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and they will suffer for your fornications, until your corpses are in the wilderness. See the chapter |
The Israelites had traveled forty years in the wilderness until all the people, the men of fighting age who came out of Egypt, died, because they did not obey the Lord. The Lord had sworn not to let them see the land that He had sworn to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
