9 For awhen they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
10 aSo the Lord’s anger was aroused on that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
11 ‘Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, afrom twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because bthey have not wholly followed Me,
12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, afor they have wholly followed the Lord.’
13 So the Lord’s anger was aroused against Israel, and He made them awander in the wilderness forty years, until ball the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was gone.
