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 <sc>Lordsc> had vowed to them.

And when he<n id="1" /> sent you from Kadesh-Barnea and told you, &#8220;Go up and possess the land I have given you,&#8221; you rebelled against the <sc>Lordsc> your God<n id="2" /> and would neither believe nor obey him.
