Forty years in the wilderness

33And your sons will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will bear your acts of sexual unfaithfulness until your dead bodies are finished off in the wilderness.

34According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a day for a year, a day for a year, you shall bear your iniquities forty years, and you shall know my opposition.

35I, Yahweh, have spoken. Surely I will do this to all this evil congregation who have gathered together against me: in this wilderness they will come to an end, and there they will die.
