Deuteronomy 2:14-15
2:14 Now the length of time it took for us to go from Kadesh Barnea to the crossing of Wadi Zered was thirty-eight years, time for all the military men of that generation to die, just as the
Lord had vowed to them.
2:15 Indeed, it was the very hand of the
Lord that eliminated them from within
the camp until they were all gone.
Numbers 14:22-30
14:22 For all the people have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted
me now these ten times,
and have not obeyed me,
14:23 they will by no means
see the land that I swore to their fathers, nor will any of them who despised me see it.
14:24 Only my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit and has followed me fully – I will bring him into the land where he had gone, and his descendants
will possess it.
14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites were living in the valleys.)
Tomorrow, turn and journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
14:26 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
14:27 “How long must I bear with this evil congregation that murmurs against me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites that they murmured against me.
14:28 Say to them, ‘As I live, says the Lord, I will surely do to you just what you have spoken in my hearing.
14:29 Your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness – all those of you who were numbered, according to your full number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me.
14:30 You will by no means enter into the land where I swore to settle you. The only exceptions are Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Numbers 32:8-13
32:8 Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
32:9 When
they went up to the Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they frustrated the intent of the Israelites so that they did not enter
the land that the
Lord had given
them.
32:10 So the anger of the
Lord was kindled that day, and he swore,
32:11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly,
not
one of the men twenty years old and upward
who came from Egypt will see the land that I swore to give
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
32:12 except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the
Lord wholeheartedly.’
32:13 So the
Lord’s anger was kindled against the Israelites, and he made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all that generation that had done wickedly before
the
Lord was finished.
Psalms 95:11
95:11 So I made a vow in my anger,
‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”
Ezekiel 20:15
20:15 I also swore
to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them to the land I had given them – a land flowing with milk and honey, the most beautiful of all lands.
Hebrews 3:8-11
3:8 “Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.
3:9 “There your fathers tested me and tried me, and they saw my works for forty years.
3:10 “Therefore, I became provoked at that generation and said, ‘Their hearts are always wandering and they have not known my ways.’
3:11 “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”
