10 And when all the congregation ordered to stone them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud, over the tabernacle of the testimony, to all the children of Israel.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, How long shall this people provoke me? And how long will they disbelieve me, notwithstanding all the miracles which I have done among them?
12 Let me smite them with pestilence and destroy them, and I will make thee and the house of thy father a great nation and much more numerous than this.
13 Thereupon Moses said to the Lord, Though Egypt may publish that thou by thy mighty power didst bring this people out from among them;

23 they indeed shall not see the land which I, with an oath, promised their fathers. But with regard to their children who are here with me; as many as have not known good or evil; every one who is too young to be taught by experience, to them I will give the land. As for all them who have provoked me, they shall not see it;
