Numbers 14:23-32 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

23. these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon it.

24. My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.

25. For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea."

26. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

27. "How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.

28. Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do to you.

29. In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,

30. you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

31. But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.

32. Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
