Numbers 14:36-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ So the Lord struck down the men Moses had sent to check out the land. They had returned and had spread a bad report about the land. And that had made the whole community speak out against Moses. ³⁷ Those men were to blame for spreading the bad report. So the Lord struck them down. They died of a plague. ³⁸ Only two of the men who went to check out the land remained alive. One of them was Joshua, the son of Nun. The other was Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
