Maka marahlah TUHAN pada waktu itu sehingga Ia berkata, 'Orang-orang itu tidak setia kepada-Ku. Oleh sebab itu Aku bersumpah bahwa dari mereka yang sudah berumur dua puluh tahun ke atas pada waktu mereka meninggalkan Mesir, tak ada yang akan masuk ke negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.'
