8. This is exactly what happened when I sent your ancestors from Kadesh-Barnea to explore the land.
9. They went as far as Eshcol Valley, then returned and told the people that we should not enter it.
10. The Lord became very angry.
11. And he said that no one who was twenty years or older when they left Egypt would enter the land he had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Not one of those people believed in the Lord's power,
12. except Caleb and Joshua. They remained faithful to the Lord,
13. but he was so angry with the others that he forced them to wander around in the desert forty years. By that time everyone who had sinned against him had died.
