Numbers 14:18
Compare all
16 ‘Because the Lord was not aable to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.’  
17 And now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying,
18 a‘The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, bvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’  
19 aPardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, baccording to the greatness of Your mercy, just cas You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”  
20 Then the Lord said: “I have pardoned, aaccording to your word;  
21 but truly, as I live, aall the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord—  
22 abecause all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now bthese ten times, and have not heeded My voice,  
23 they certainly shall not asee the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.  
24 But My servant aCaleb, because he has a different spirit in him and bhas followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
