Verse 28 is found in chapter 14 of Numbers. The judgment upon the unbelieving generation establishes that the adults counted in the census who murmured will die in the wilderness and that their children will temporarily bear the consequences of their parents’ unfaithfulness.

Darum sprich zu ihnen: So wahr ich lebe, spricht der HERR, ich will euch tun, wie ihr vor meinen Ohren gesagt habt.
Diles: Vivo yo, dice Jehová, que según habéis hablado a mis oídos, así haré yo con vosotros:
Diles: “Tan cierto como que vivo —declara Jehová—, haré con ustedes tal como han hablado a mis oídos.
Dis-leur: Je suis vivant! dit l'Eternel, je vous ferai ainsi que vous avez parlé à mes oreilles.
Di’ loro: Come io vivo, dice il Signore, io vi farò come voi avete parlato a’ miei orecchi.
Dize-lhes: Vivo eu, diz o SENHOR, que, como falastes aos meus ouvidos, assim farei a vós outros.
你要告訴他們,耶和華說:『我指著我的永生起誓,我必照你們在我耳中所說的待你們。
