Psalm 106:24-27 Part 2 of 3

The people refused to enter the pleasant land,

    for they wouldn't believe his promise to care for them.

Instead, they grumbled in their tents

    and refused to obey the LORD.

Therefore, he solemnly swore

    that he would kill them in the wilderness,

that he would scatter their descendants among the nations,

    exiling them to distant lands.

 

Therefore, he solemnly swore that he would kill them in the wilderness,

Numbers 14:23  "They will never even see the land I swore to give their ancestors. None of those who have treated me with contempt will ever see it."  (see verses 20-37)

Numbers 32:11  "Of all those I rescued from Egypt, no one who is twenty years old or older will ever see the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for they have not obeyed me wholeheartedly."  (see verses 1-12)

Deuteronomy 2:14-15  "Thirty-eight years passed from the time we first left Kadesh-barnea until we finally crossed the Zered Brook! By then, all the men old enough to to fight in battle had died in the wilderness, as the LORD had vowed would happen. The LORD struck them down until they had all been eliminated from the community."  (see verses 13-25)

Psalm 95:10-11  

"For forty years I was angry with them, and I said,

    'They are a people whose hearts turn away from me.

    They refuse to do what I tell them.'

So in my anger I took an oath:

    'They will never enter my place of rest.' "  (see all Psalm 95)

Hebrews 3:7-11  That is why the Holy Spirit says,

    "Today when you hear his voice,

        don't harden your hearts

    as Israel did when they rebelled,

        when they tested me in the wilderness.

    There your ancestors tested and tried my patience,

        even though they saw my miracles for forty years.

    So I was angry with them, and I said,

    'Their hearts always turn away from me.

        They refuse to do what I tell them.'

     So in my anger I took an oath:

        'They will never enter my place of rest.' "  (see all chapter 3)
