Leeser(i)
15 That thou hast killed this people as one man: then will the nations that have heard thy fame, say in this manner,
16 That because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, hath he slain them in the wilderness.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the greatness of the power of the Lord be made manifest, as thou hast spoken, saying,
18 The Eternal is long-suffering, and abundant in beneficence, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of thy beneficence, and as thou hast been indulgent to this people, from Egypt even until hitherto.
20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word.
21 But as truly as I live, and as all the earth is filled with the glory of the Lord:—
22 That all the men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I have displayed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,
23 Shall surely not see the land which I have sworn unto their fathers, yea all those that have provoked me shall not see it.
24 But my servant Caleb, as a reward that he had another spirit with him, and followed me fully,—therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
