Deuteronomium 2:14

Intussen waren er acht en dertig jaren verlopen, sinds wij van Kadesj-Barnéa waren vertrokken en de beek Zéred waren overgestoken; lang genoeg om heel het geslacht van weerbare mannen in de legerplaats te doen sterven, zoals Jahweh het hun had gezworen;

And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
