¹¹ ‘Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, ^(A)from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because ^(B)they have not wholly followed Me,

²⁸ Say to them, ^(A)‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: ²⁹ The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, ^(B)all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. ^30 (C)Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I ^[a]swore I would make you dwell in.

²⁴ But My servant ^(A)Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and ^(B)has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.

⁸ Nevertheless ^(A)my brethren who went up with me made the ^[a]heart of the people melt, but I wholly ^(B)followed the Lord my God. ⁹ So Moses swore on that day, saying, ^(C)‘Surely the land ^(D)where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’

^2 (A)“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel ^(B)from twenty years old and above, by their fathers’ houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel.”
