Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.

Verse 29 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. The forty years correspond to the forty days spent exploring the land. Joshua and Caleb remain exceptions among the spies and witnesses that faithfulness is possible within an unbelieving community.

Eure Leiber sollen in dieser Wüste verfallen; und alle, die ihr gezählt seid von zwanzig Jahren und darüber, die ihr wider mich gemurrt habt,
En este desierto caerán vuestros cuerpos; todos vuestros contados según toda vuestra cuenta, de veinte años arriba, los cuales habéis murmurado contra mí;
En este desierto caerán sus cadáveres, los de todos ustedes que fueron registrados en el censo, de veinte años en adelante, que murmuraron contra mí.
Vos cadavres tomberont dans ce désert. Vous tous, dont on a fait le dénombrement, en vous comptant depuis l'âge de vingt ans et au-dessus, et qui avez murmuré contre moi,
I vostri corpi caderanno morti in questo deserto; e quant’è a tutti gli annoverati d’infra voi, seconda tutto il vostro numero, dall’età di vent’anni in su, che avete mormorato contro a me;
Neste deserto cairão os vossos cadáveres, como também todos os que de vós foram contados segundo toda a vossa conta, de vinte anos para cima, os que dentre vós contra mim murmurastes;
你們的屍體必倒在這曠野中。你們中間被數點,凡二十歲以上向我發怨言的,
