26 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
27 ‘How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
28 So tell them, “As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:
29 in this wilderness your bodies will fall – every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.
30 Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.
32 But you – your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
