28. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith Hashem, as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you:
29. Your corpses shall fall in this midbar; and all that were numbered of you, according to your entire mispar (number, census), from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against Me.
30. Not one of you shall come into HaAretz, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, except for Kalev ben Yephunneh, and Yehoshua ben Nun.
31. But your little ones, which ye said would be plunder, them will I bring in, and they shall know HaAretz which ye have rejected.
32. But as for you, your corpses, they shall fall in this midbar.
33. And your banim shall wander [wandering ro'im] in the midbar arba'im shanah, and bear [the penalty of] your whoredoms [zenut, spiritual disloyalty and rebellion], until the last of your corpses lies in the midbar.
34. After the number of the days in which ye explored HaAretz, even arba'im, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even arba'im shanah, and ye shall know My Tenu'a (Opposition).
35. I, Hashem, have spoken, I will surely do it unto this Kol HaEdah, that are gathered together against Me: in this midbar they shall come to an end, and there they shall die.
36. And the anashim, which Moshe sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made Kol HaEdah to murmur against him, the ones spreading a dibbah (bad report, slander) about HaAretz,
37. Even those anashim that did bring up the evil report of HaAretz, died by the maggefah before Hashem.
38. But Yehoshua ben Nun, and Kalev ben Yephunneh survived of the anashim that went to explore HaAretz.
39. And Moshe told these sayings unto Kol Bnei Yisroel: and HaAm mourned greatly.
40. And they rose up early in the boker, and went up into the height of the hill country, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up unto the place which Hashem hath promised: for we have sinned.
41. And Moshe said, Why now do ye transgress the utterance of Hashem? This will not succeed.
