Numbers 32:8-13

8 1This is what your fathers did when I sent them from aKadesh-barnea to see the land. 9 Indeed they went up to athe 1valley of Eshcol and saw the land, and they 2discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which Yahweh had given them. 10 So aYahweh’s anger burned in that day, and He swore an oath, saying, 11 ‘aNone of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully, 12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, afor they have followed Yahweh fully.’ 13 aSo 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.
