Numbers 26:63Modern English VersionThese were counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who counted the Israelites in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 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.
