³⁷ those very men who brought the evil report about the land, ^(A)died by the plague before the Lord.

¹⁰ nor complain, as ^(A)some of them also complained, and ^(B)were destroyed by ^(C)the destroyer.

⁴⁹ Now those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died in the Korah incident.

¹⁷ Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(A)whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

¹² I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will ^(A)make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”

Old and New Apostates

⁵ But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that ^(A)the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall ^(A)die, because you have taught ^(B)rebellion against the Lord.’ ”

¹⁷ So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

⁹ And ^(A)those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
