³³ And your sons shall be shepherds for ^(A)forty years in the wilderness, and they will ^[a]suffer for your ^[b]unfaithfulness, until your corpses come to an end in the wilderness.

^13 (A)So Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of Yahweh was brought to an end.

⁷ For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; He has known your ^[a]wanderings through this ^(A)great wilderness. These ^(B)forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing.”’

⁶ For the sons of Israel had walked ^(A)forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, were completely destroyed because they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh, ^(B)to whom Yahweh had sworn that He would not let them see the land which Yahweh had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ So now behold, Yahweh has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; so now behold, I am eighty-five years old today.
