民14:12I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.

民14:13And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for in thy might thou broughtest up this people from the midst of them;

民14:14and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land, [who] have heard that thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of this people, that thou, Jehovah, lettest thyself be seen eye to eye, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night;

民14:15if thou now slayest this people as one man, then the nations that have heard thy fame will speak, saying,

民14:16Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land that he had sworn unto them, he has therefore slain them in the wilderness.

民14:17And now, I beseech thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

民14:18Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in goodness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth [generation].

民14:19Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving-kindness, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

民14:20And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word.

民14:21But as surely as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah!

民14:22for all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,

民14:23shall in no wise see the land which I did swear unto their fathers: none of them that despised me shall see it.

民14:24But my servant Caleb, because he hath another spirit in him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he came; and his seed shall possess it.

民14:25(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley.) To-morrow turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness, on the way to the Red sea.

民14:26And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

民14:27How long [shall I bear] with this evil assembly, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

民14:28Say unto them, As surely as I live, saith Jehovah, if I do not do unto you as ye have spoken in mine ears!

民14:29In this wilderness shall your carcases fall; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number from twenty years old and upwards, who have murmured against me,

民14:30shall in no wise come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to make you dwell in it; save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

民14:31But your little ones, of whom ye said they should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that ye have despised.
