Deuteronomy 2:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ It was thirty-eight years from when we left Kadesh-barnea until when we crossed over the Valley of the Zered. During this time the entire generation of men of war perished in the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them. ¹⁵ For the hand of the Lord was set against them, to wipe them out from the camp until they were consumed. ¹⁶ And so the men of war among the people perished.
