Numbers 14:22–24
22not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness — yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times — 23not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
24But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
