¹² And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because ^(A)you did not believe in me, ^(B)to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”

³⁷ Even with me ^(A)the Lord was angry on your account and said, ‘You also shall not go in there.

^23 (A)And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. ^(B)And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.

^14 (A)because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled, failing ^(B)to uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are ^(C)the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

^24 (A)“Let Aaron be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land that I have given to the people of Israel, because ^(B)you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah.

For ^(B)what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? ²⁵ Please let me go over and see ^(C)the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and ^(D)Lebanon.’ ²⁶ But ^(E)the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the Lord said to me, ^(F)‘Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again. ^27 (G)Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and look at it with your eyes, for you shall not go over this Jordan.

²⁰ No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,

⁴⁵ And ^(A)blessed is she who believed that there would be^[a] a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

²⁰ And behold, ^(A)you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”

²⁰ He said to them, ^(A)“Because of your little faith. For ^(B)truly, I say to you, ^(C)if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, ^(D)you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and ^(E)nothing will be impossible for you.”^[a]
