28 Say to them, ‘“As surely as I live,” declares Jehovah, “I will do to you just what I have heard you speak!+

35 “‘“I, Jehovah, have spoken. This is what I will do to all this evil assembly, those who have gathered together against me: In this wilderness they will come to their end, and here they will die.+

10 Jehovah’s anger blazed on that day so that he swore:+ 11 ‘The men who came up out of Egypt from 20 years old and up will not see the land+ of which I have sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,+ because they have not followed me wholeheartedly— 12 except Caʹleb+ the son of Je·phunʹneh the Kenʹiz·zite and Joshua+ the son of Nun, because they have followed Jehovah wholeheartedly.’+

14 The time it took us to walk from Kaʹdesh-barʹne·a until we crossed the Valley* of Zeʹred was 38 years, until the entire generation of the men of war had perished from the camp, just as Jehovah had sworn to them.+

11 So I swore in my anger:

“They will not enter into my rest.”+

11 So I swore in my anger: ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”+
