(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)

And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.

So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,

Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
