Bamidbar 14:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ Because Hashem was not able to bring this people into HaAretz which He promised them by oath, therefore He hath slaughtered (shachat) them in the midbar.

¹⁷ And now, I beseech thee, let the Ko’ach Adonoi be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying,

¹⁸ Hashem is slow of anger, and of rav chesed, forgiving avon and peysha, and by no means exonerating the guilty, visiting the avon of the avot upon the banim unto the third and fourth generation.
