Numbers 32:7-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. Why do you subvert the minds of the sons of Israel, so that they might not dare to cross into the place which the Lord will give to them?

8. Did not your fathers act in the same way, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to explore the land?

9. And when they had gone all the way to the Valley of the Cluster of Grapes, having viewed the entire region, they subverted the hearts of the sons of Israel, so that they would not enter into the parts that the Lord gave to them.

10. And being angry, the Lord swore an oath, saying:

11. 'These men, who ascended out of Egypt, from twenty years and above, will not see the land, which I have promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For they were not willing to follow me,

12. except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; these have fulfilled my will.'
