Numbers 14:33
33and your children will wander ▼▼tn The word is “shepherds.” It means that the people would be wilderness nomads, grazing their flock on available land.
in the wilderness 40 years and suffer for your unfaithfulness, ▼▼tn Heb “you shall bear your whoredoms.” The imagery of prostitution is used throughout the Bible to reflect spiritual unfaithfulness, leaving the covenant relationship and following after false gods. Here it is used generally for their rebellion in the wilderness, but not for following other gods.
until your dead bodies lie finished ▼ in the wilderness.
