19
Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."
20
Then the Lord said: "I have pardoned, according to your word;
21
but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord--
22
because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice,
23
they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.
24
But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
25
Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley; tomorrow turn and move out into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea."
26
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
27
"How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me.
28
Say to them, 'As I live,' says the Lord, 'just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you:
29
The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.
