Now, therefore do not show yourselves scoffers, Lest your fetters, be bound fast,—For, of a full end, and that a decreed one, have I heard from My Lord, Yahweh of hosts upon all the land
So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, and he made them wander in the desert, forty years,—until all the generation who had done the evil in the eyes of Yahweh, had wasted away!

And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and the house of thy father with thee, shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary,—and, thou, and thy sons with thee, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
and went in after the man of Israel into the pleasure-tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, in her parts of shame,—so the plague was restrained from against the sons of Israel.
and David built there an altar unto Yahweh, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings,—then was Yahweh entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
