Indeed, it was the very hand of the Lord that eliminated them from within the camp until they were all gone.

So it was that after all the military men had been eliminated from the community,

When Moses finished writing on a scroll the words of this law in their entirety,

Then Moses recited the words of this song from start to finish in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel.

The Israelites mourned for Moses in the deserts of Moab for thirty days; then the days of mourning for Moses ended.

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.
