27 And they murmured in your tents, saying, 'The Lord, out of hatred for us, brought us up out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, and to destroy us;

E-28 Where are we going? Our brethren relaxed our hearts, saying, "That people are greater, [more numerous] and higher than we, the cities there are large and with fortifications reaching to the heavens, and we have seen the sons of Enacus there.

29 And I said unto you, Fear not, nor be afraid of them;

30 The LORD your God is going before you; He will fight for you, as he did with you in Egypt, before your eyes;

31 And in this wilderness, where, as thou hast seen, the LORD thy God hath borne thee, as a man beareth his son, all the way which ye traversed before thy coming into this place.

32 Yet even so you did not believe the Lord your God,

33 Who went before you in the way, to seek for you a place to stop, by night in the fire, to show you the way to go, and by day in the cloud.

34 And the Lord [God] heard your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

35 None of these people of this wicked generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers.

36 Only Caleb the son of Jephunneh will see her; I will give to him the land on which he passed, and to his sons, because he obeyed the Lord.

37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, 'Neither shalt thou enter there;

38 Joshua son of Nun, who is with you, he will go in there; confirm it, for it will bring Israel into its possession;

39 Your children, of whom you have said that they shall be a prey to your enemies, and your sons, who now know neither good nor evil, they shall enter there, and I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.

40 but ye shall turn and go into the wilderness, on the way to the Red Sea.
