Daily Bible GNT March 19 Verses

¹³But Moses said to the LORD, "You brought these people out of Egypt by your power. When the Egyptians hear what you have done to your people, ¹⁴they will tell it to the people who live in this land. These people have already heard that you, LORD, are with us, that you appear in plain sight when your cloud stops over us, and that you go before us in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. ¹⁵Now if you kill all your people, the nations who have heard of your fame will say ¹⁶that you killed your people in the wilderness because you were not able to bring them into the land you promised to give them. ¹⁷So now, LORD, I pray, show us your power and do what you promised when you said, ¹⁸'I, the LORD, am not easily angered, and I show great love and faithfulness and forgive sin and rebellion. Yet I will not fail to punisT children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their parents.' ¹⁹And now, LORD, according to the greatness of your unchanging love, forgive, I pray, the sin of these people, just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt."

²⁰The LORD answered, "I will forgive them, as you have asked. ²¹But I promise that as surely as I live and as surely as my presence fills the earth, ²²none of these people will live to enter that land. They have seen the dazzling light of my presence and the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but they have tried my patience over and over again and have refused to obey me. ²³They will never enter the land which I promised to their ancestors. None of those who have rejected me will ever enter it. ²⁴But because my servant Caleb has a different attitude and has remained loyal to me, I will bring him into the land which he explored, and his descendants will possess the land ²⁵in whose valleys the Amalekites and the Canaanites now live. Turn back tomorrow and go into the wilderness Tn the direction of the Gulf of Aqaba."
