Numbers 14:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 14:23

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.

25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley; tomorrow turn and ^amove out into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea.”

Death Sentence on the Rebels

26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

27 ^a“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? ^bI have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me.

28 ^aSay to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you:

29 The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, ^aall of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

30 ^aExcept for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I¹ swore I would make you dwell in.

31 ^aBut your little ones, whom you said would be victims, I will bring in, and they shall¹ know the land which ^byou have despised.

32 But as for you, ^ayour carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
