For Yahweh had said of them, They shall surely die, in the desert. And there was not left of them a man, save only, Caleb on of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.
See, then, the kindness and the severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity,—but, upon thee, the kindness of God, if thou abide still in the kindness,—otherwise, thou also, shalt he cut out;
I—Yahweh, have spoken, Verily this, will I do to all this evil assembly, who have conspired against me,—In this desert, shall they be consumed And there, shall they die.
I am minded, therefore, to put you in remembrance,—though ye know all things once for all, That the Lord, when a people out of Egypt he had saved, in, the next place, them that believed not, destroyed.
Our father, died in the desert, although, he, was not among the assembly that conspired against Yahweh, in the assembly of Korah,—but, in his own sin, died he; and sons, had he none.
saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons,—because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.
Now, this, is the cause why Joshua did circumcise,—all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, died in the desert, by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.
