CLV(i)
15 If You put this people to death as one man, then the nations who heard the report of You will say, saying.
16 Because Yahweh was unable to bring this people to the land about which He had sworn to them, He slew them in the wilderness.
17 So now let, I pray, the vigor of Yahweh be great just as You have spoken, saying.
18 Yahweh, slow to anger and with much kindness and truth, bearing with depravity and transgression and sin, yet He is not immediately making innocent in order to make innocent, but is visiting the depravity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth generation.
19 Pardon, I pray, the depravity of this people according to the greatness of Your kindness just as You bore with this people from Egypt and hitherto.
20 Yahweh said:I have pardoned them according to your word.
21 Howbeit, as I am the living One, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh,
22 all the men who were seeing My glory and My signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, who probed Me these ten times and they did not hearken to My voice,
23 they assuredly shall not see the land about which I had sworn to their fathers! All who are spurning Me shall not see it.
24 Yet My servant Caleb, inasmuch as there is another spirit with him and he is following fully after Me, I will bring him to the land where he will enter, and his seed shall prepare it for tenancy.
