Numbers 32:11-13
The Voice
11-13 even though that particular land had been promised to the Israelites beginning with Abraham, then to Isaac and to Jacob after him, the whole generation that left Egypt when they were 20 years or older would have to die, wandering aimlessly in the desert, before God would allow the community to enter that great land. Only Caleb the Kenizzite (Jephunneh’s son) and Joshua (Nun’s son) out of that generation would be allowed to enjoy settlement there because they followed Him completely.
Numbers 32:11-13
New International Version
11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more(A) when they came up out of Egypt(B) will see the land I promised on oath(C) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(D)— 12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.’(E) 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel(F) and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.(G)
