25. And they took of the pri ha'aretz in their hands, brought it down unto us, brought us word, and said, It is a tovah ha'aretz which Hashem Eloheinu doth give us.
26. Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Hashem Eloheichem;
27. And ye murmured in your oholim, and said, Because Hashem hated us, He hath brought us forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim, to deliver us into the hand of HaEmori, to destroy us.
28. Where shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged levavenu (our hearts), saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to Shomayim; moreover we have seen the Bnei Anakim there.
29. Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30. Hashem Eloheichem which goeth before you, He shall fight for you, according to all that He did for you in Mitzrayim before your eyes;
31. And in the midbar, where thou hast seen how that Hashem Eloheicha did bear thee, as a man doth carry his ben, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32. Yet in this thing ye were not ma'aminim (believers) in Hashem Eloheichem,
33. Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in eish by lailah, to show you by what way ye should go, and in an anan (cloud) by day.
34. And Hashem heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and on oath, said,
35. Surely there shall not one of these men of this dor harah see ha'aretz hatovah, which I swore to give unto Avoteichem.
36. Except Kalev ben Yephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give ha'aretz that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Hashem.
37. Also Hashem was angry with me because of you, saying, Thou also shalt not go in there.
38. But Yehoshua ben Nun, the one assisting thee, he shall go in there; encourage him, for he shall cause Yisroel to inherit it.
39. Moreover your little ones, which ye said would be taken captive, and your children, which as yet do not have knowledge between tov and rah, they shall go in there, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40. But as for you, turn, take your journey into the midbar by the way of the Yam Suf.
