And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 33 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.

Und eure Kinder sollen Hirten sein in dieser Wüste vierzig Jahre und eure Untreue tragen, bis daß eure Leiber aufgerieben werden in der Wüste,
Y vuestros hijos andarán pastoreando en el desierto cuarenta años, y ellos llevarán vuestras fornicaciones, hasta que vuestros cuerpos sean consumidos en el desierto.
Sus hijos serán pastores en el desierto durante cuarenta años y cargarán con las consecuencias de la infidelidad de ustedes, hasta que sus cadáveres se consuman en el desierto.
et vos enfants paîtront quarante années dans le désert, et porteront la peine de vos infidélités, jusqu'à ce que vos cadavres soient tous tombés dans le désert.
E i vostri figliuoli andranno pasturando nel deserto, per quarant’anni, e porteranno la pena delle vostre fornicazioni, finchè i vostri corpi morti sieno consumati nel deserto.
E vossos filhos pastorearão neste deserto quarenta anos, e levarão sobre si as vossas infidelidades, até que os vossos cadáveres se consumam neste deserto.
