But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

Verse 31 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 Kinder, von denen ihr sagtet: Sie werden ein Raub sein, die will ich hineinbringen, daß sie erkennen sollen das Land, das ihr verwerft.
Mas vuestros chiquitos, de los cuales dijisteis que serían por presa, yo los introduciré, y ellos conocerán la tierra que vosotros despreciasteis.
En cuanto a sus niños, de los que dijeron que serían botín, los haré entrar, y conocerán la tierra que ustedes han rechazado.
Et vos petits enfants, dont vous avez dit: Ils deviendront une proie! je les y ferai entrer, et ils connaîtront le pays que vous avez dédaigné.
Ma io ci farò entrare i vostri piccoli fanciulli, de’ quali voi avete detto che sarebbero in preda; ed essi conosceranno che cosa è il paese, il quale voi avete sdegnato.
Mas os vossos filhos, de que dizeis: Por presa serão, porei nela; e eles conhecerão a terra que vós desprezastes.
你們的孩子,就是你們說要成為擄物的,我必領他們進去,他們就得知你們所厭棄的那地。
