^(C1)your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, all ^(C2)your ^(F1)numbered men according to your complete number from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against Me.

'By no means will you come into the land where I ^(F1)swore to settle you, ^(C1)except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

'^(C1)But as for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness.

'Also, your sons will be shepherds in the wilderness for ^(C1)forty years, and they will ^(F1)suffer for your unfaithfulness, until your bodies perish in the wilderness.

'In accordance with the ^(C1)number of days that you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall suffer the punishment for your ^(F1)guilt a year, that is, forty years, and you will know My opposition.
