Numbers 14:34-36

International Children’s Bible

³⁴ For 40 years you will suffer for your sins. That is a year for each of the 40 days you explored the land. You will know me as your enemy.’ ³⁵ I, the Lord, have spoken. I will certainly do these things to all these evil people. They have come together against me. So they will all die here in this desert.”

³⁶ The men Moses had sent to explore the land had returned. They had spread complaints among all the Israelites. They had given a bad report about the land.
