Numbers 14:21-28 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. Yet, by my life and the Lord’s glory that fills the whole earth,

22. of all the people who have seen my glory and the signs I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who nevertheless have put me to the test ten times already and have not obeyed me,

23. not one shall see the land which I promised on oath to their ancestors. None of those who have spurned me shall see it.

24. But as for my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and follows me unreservedly, I will bring him into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall possess it.

25. But now, since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn away tomorrow and set out into the wilderness by way of the Red Sea road.

26. The Lord also said to Moses and Aaron:

27. How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the Israelites against me.

28. Tell them: “By my life”—oracle of the Lord—“I will do to you just what I have heard you say.
