⁶ “The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, ^(A)‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.

¹⁴ And the time from our leaving ^(A)Kadesh-barnea until we crossed ^(B)the brook Zered was thirty-eight years, ^(C)until the entire generation, that is, the men of war, had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them.

⁷ For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. ^(A)He knows your going through this great wilderness. ^(B)These forty years the Lord your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.”’
