Verse 38 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.
