Numbers 14:30

Judgment

28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.

29 Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.

Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

31 But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.

32 As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
