TSK · Numbers 14:34

They returned from investigating the land after forty days.

So the LORD’s anger was kindled against the Israelites, and he made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all that generation that had done wickedly before the LORD was finished.

So now, look, the LORD has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the LORD spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old.

“The LORD is worthy of praise because he has made Israel his people secure just as he promised! Not one of all the faithful promises he made through his servant Moses is left unfulfilled!

For my sins overwhelm me; like a heavy load, they are too much for me to bear.

For forty years I was continually disgusted with that generation, and I said,‘These people desire to go astray; they do not obey my commands.’

And there are times when I promise to build up and establish a nation or kingdom.

“When you have completed these days, then lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah 40 days– I have assigned one day for each year.

“Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you have forgotten me and completely disregarded me, you must bear now the punishment for your obscene conduct and prostitution.”

Even if they raise their children, I will take away every last one of them. Woe to them! For I will turn away from them.

God’s Promised Rest Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.
