Numbers 14:12-29

[12] I will smite  them with the pestilence,  and disinherit  them, and will make  of thee a greater  nation  and mightier  [13] And Moses  said  unto the LORD,  shall hear  it, (for thou broughtest up  this people  in thy might  from among  [14] And they will tell  it to the inhabitants  of this land:  for they have heard  that thou LORD  art among  this people,  that thou LORD  art seen  face  and that thy cloud  standeth  over them, and that thou goest  before  them, by day time  in a pillar  of a cloud,  and in a pillar  of fire  by night.  [15] Now if thou shalt kill  all this people  as one  man,  then the nations  which have heard  the fame  of thee will speak,  [16] Because the LORD  was not  able  to bring  this people  into the land  which he sware  unto them, therefore he hath slain  them in the wilderness.  [17] And now, I beseech thee, let the power  of my Lord  be great,  according  as thou hast spoken,  saying,  [18] The LORD  is longsuffering,  and of great  mercy,  forgiving  iniquity  and transgression,  and by no means  the guilty, visiting  the iniquity  of the fathers  upon the children  unto the third  and fourth  [19] Pardon,  I beseech thee, the iniquity  of this people  according unto the greatness  of thy mercy,  and as thou hast forgiven  this people,  from Egypt  even until now.  [20] And the LORD  said,  I have pardoned  according to thy word:  [21] But as truly  as I live,  all the earth  shall be filled  with the glory  of the LORD.  [22] Because all those men  which have seen  my glory,  and my miracles,  which I did  in Egypt  and in the wilderness,  and have tempted  me now these ten  times,  and have not hearkened  to my voice;  [23] Surely they shall not  see  the land  which I sware  unto their fathers,  neither shall any of them that provoked  me see  [24] But my servant  Caleb,  because  he had another  spirit  with him, and hath followed  me fully,  him will I bring  into the land  whereinto he went;  and his seed  shall possess  [25] (Now the Amalekites  and the Canaanites  dwelt  in the valley.)  To morrow  turn  you, and get  you into the wilderness  by the way  of the Red  sea.  [26] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses  and unto Aaron,  saying,  [27] How long shall I bear with this evil  congregation,  which murmur  against me? I have heard  the murmurings  of the children  of Israel,  which they murmur  [28] Say  unto them, As truly as  I live,  saith  the LORD,  as ye have spoken  in mine ears,  so will I do  to you: [29] Your carcases  shall fall  in this wilderness;  and all that were numbered  of you, according to your whole number,  from twenty  years  old  and upward,  which have murmured
