Numbers 14:29New International VersionIn this wilderness your bodies will fall—every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. See the chapter |
The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
