But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

Say unto them, {As truly as} I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given {them}, flowing with milk and honey, which {is} the glory of all lands;

Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. {that...: Heb. if they enter into my rest}

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}

({There are} eleven days' {journey} from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)

And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: {wholly...: Heb. fulfilled after me}

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale {that is told}. {passed...: Heb. turned away} {as a...: or, as a meditation}

So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode {there}.

But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people {that were} men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. {wander: or, feed}

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) {They...: Gr. If they shall enter}

And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

Consume {them} in wrath, consume {them}, that they {may} not {be}: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

Make us glad according to the days {wherein} thou hast afflicted us, {and} the years {wherein} we have seen evil.

Forty years long was I grieved with {this} generation, and said, It {is} a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Then came the children of Israel, {even} the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: {wholly...: Heb. fulfilled after me}

Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

And this {is} the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, {that were} males, {even} all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
