Dlulisela

Only don’t rebel against the LORD, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land, for we will devour them.  Their protection  has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us. Don’t be afraid of them! ”

The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in faithful love,  forgiving iniquity and rebellion.  But he will not leave the guilty unpunished,  bringing the consequences of the fathers’ iniquity on the children to the third and fourth generation.

If the LORD is pleased with us, he will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey,  and give it to us.

But since my servant Caleb has a different spirit and has remained loyal to me, I will bring him into the land where he has gone, and his descendants will inherit it.

Tell them: As I live — this is the LORD’s declaration — I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.

The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people despise me? How long will they not trust in me despite all the signs I have performed among them?

All the Israelites complained about Moses and Aaron,  and the whole community told them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!

Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who scouted out the land, tore their clothes and said to the entire Israelite community, “The land we passed through and explored is an extremely good land.

Yet as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the LORD’s glory,  none of the men who have seen my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tested me these ten times and did not obey me, will ever see the land I swore to give their ancestors.  None of those who have despised me  will see it.
