## Numbers 14:20-35 in Context (Verses 17–38 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/numbers/14/17) And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/numbers/14/18) The LORD *is* longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing *the guilty*, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth *generation*.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/numbers/14/19) Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/numbers/14/20) And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
 
 [21 ](/kjv/numbers/14/21) But *as* truly *as* I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/numbers/14/22) Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
 
 [23 ](/kjv/numbers/14/23) Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/numbers/14/24) But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/numbers/14/25) (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/numbers/14/26) ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
 
 [27 ](/kjv/numbers/14/27) How long *shall I bear with* this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/numbers/14/28) Say unto them, *As truly as* I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
 
 [29 ](/kjv/numbers/14/29) Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
 
 [30 ](/kjv/numbers/14/30) 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.*
 
 [31 ](/kjv/numbers/14/31) But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/numbers/14/32) But *as for* you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/numbers/14/33) And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.*
 
 [34 ](/kjv/numbers/14/34) 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.*
 
 [35 ](/kjv/numbers/14/35) I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/numbers/14/36) And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
 
 [37 ](/kjv/numbers/14/37) Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/numbers/14/38) But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, *which were* of the men that went to search the land, lived *still*.
