My Torah Portion

(From the Torah Commentary)
Numbers 14, Verses 26 through 35
26] The LORD spoke further to Moses and Aaron, 27] "How much longer shall that wicked community keep muttering against Me? Very well, I have heeded the incessant muttering of the Israelites against Me. 28] Say to them: 'as I live,' says the LORD, 'I will do to you just as you have urged Me. 29] In this wilderness shall you're carcasses drop. Of all of you who were recorded in you're various lists from the age of twenty years up, you who mutter against Me, 30] not one shall enter the land in which I swore to settle you-save Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31] Your children who, you said, would be carried off-these will I allow to enter; they shall know the land that you have rejected. 32] But your carcasses shall drop in this wilderness, 33] while your children roam the wilderness for forty years, suffering for your faithlessness, until the last of your carcasses is down in the wilderness. 34] You shall bear your punishment for forty years of corresponding to the number of days-forty days-that you scouted the land: a year for each day. Thus you shall know what it means to thwart Me. 35] I the LORD have spoken: Thus will I do to all that wicked band that has banded together against Me: in this very wilderness they shall die to the last man.'"
