Numbers 14:31-35

New American Standard Bible

^31 (A)Your children, however, whom you said would become plunder—I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected. ^32 (B)But as for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness. ³³ Also, your sons will be shepherds in the wilderness for ^(C)forty years, and they will ^[a]suffer for your unfaithfulness, until your bodies perish in the wilderness. ³⁴ In accordance with the ^(D)number of days that you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall suffer the punishment for your ^[b]guilt a year, that is, forty years, and you will know My opposition. ^35 (E)I, the Lord, have spoken, I certainly will do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. They shall be worn out in this wilderness, and there they shall die.’”
