26Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 27“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me. 28So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. 29Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
30Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it. 32As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
Grumble and Complain
Notice Moses and Aaron weren’t exempt! They will not enter the promised land for their own reasons. The Israelites grumbled and complained that they would die in the wilderness and the Lord granted them their wish! So be careful what you wish for!
In chapter 13 the spies 🕵️♀️ spent 40 days in the land of Canaan and for each day of the spy mission the Israelites will spend a year wandering the wilderness as their bodies fall!
That’s forty years!
Their grumbling and complaints became the Lords command!
Do you grumble and complain against the Lord?
Blessings
