Numbers 32:8
Verse 8 of 42. The 32nd of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.
4the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
5They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”
6Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10The LORD’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,
11‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,
12except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’
