God Kills the Unbelieving Explorers

³⁶ After this, the men whom Moses sent out to explore the land, who returned and made the whole congregation complain against him by bringing an evil report concerning the land, ³⁷ and who produced an evil report about the land, died of pestilence in the Lord’s presence. ³⁸ However, Nun’s son Joshua and Jephunneh’s son Caleb, who had explored the land, remained alive.
