30. I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31. I will bring your children whom you said would become plunder into the land you rejected, and they will enjoy it.
32. But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness.
33. Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for 40 years and bear the penalty for your acts of unfaithfulness until all your corpses lie scattered in the wilderness.
34. You will bear the consequences of your sins 40 years based on the number of the 40 days that you scouted the land, a year for each day. You will know My displeasure.
35. I, Yahweh, have spoken. I swear that I will do this to the entire evil community that has conspired against Me. They will come to an end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
36. So the men Moses sent to scout out the land, and who returned and incited the entire community to complain about him by spreading a negative report about the land —
37. those men who spread the negative report about the land were struck down by the Lord.
38. Only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to scout out the land.
39. When Moses reported these words to all the Israelites, the people were overcome with grief.
