Hebrews 3:9Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. See the chapter |
For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the Lord; to them the Lord swore that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
