³⁰ Not one of you will enter the land^(A) I swore with uplifted hand^(B) to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh^(C) and Joshua son of Nun.^(D)

⁶ Moses said to the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here? ⁷ Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lord has given them?^{(A) 8} This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.^{(B) 9} After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol^(C) and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them. ¹⁰ The Lord’s anger was aroused^(D) that day and he swore this oath:^{(E) 11} ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more^(F) when they came up out of Egypt^(G) will see the land I promised on oath^(H) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob^(I)— ¹² not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.’^{(J) 13} The Lord’s anger burned against Israel^(K) and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.^(L)
