30. ye--ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.
31. `As to your infants--of whom ye have said, A spoil they are become--I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which ye have kicked against;
32. as to you--your carcases do fall in this wilderness,
33. and your sons are evil in the wilderness forty years, and have borne your whoredoms till your carcases are consumed in the wilderness;
34. by the number of the days [in] which ye spied the land, forty days, --a day for a year, a day for a year--ye do bear your iniquities, forty years, and ye have known my breaking off;
35. I [am] Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; --in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.'
36. And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by bringing out an evil account concerning the land,
37. even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die by the plague before Jehovah;
38. and Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, have lived of those men who go to spy out the land.
39. And Moses speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
40. and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top of the mountain, saying, `Here we [are], and we have come up unto the place which Jehovah hath spoken of, for we have sinned.'
41. And Moses saith, `Why [is] this? --ye are transgressing the command of Jehovah, and it doth not prosper;
42. go not up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies;
43. for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have turned back from after Jehovah, and Jehovah is not with you.'
44. And they presume to go up unto the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses have not departed out of the midst of the camp.
45. And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and smite them, and beat them down--unto Hormah.
