I am not the father of all these people, and I didn't give birth to them. So why do you make me carry them to the land you promised to our ancestors? Must I carry them in my arms as a nurse carries a baby?

"So show your strength now, Lord. Do what you said:

So not one of them will see the land I promised to their ancestors. No one who rejected me will see that land.

But my servant Caleb thinks differently and follows me completely. So I will bring him into the land he has already seen, and his children will own that land.

So tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says. I heard what you said, and as surely as I live, I will do those very things to you:

I, the Lord , have spoken, and I will certainly do these things to all these evil people who have come together against me. So they will all die here in this desert."
