4 MOSEBOG 32:13

Og HERRENS Vrede blussede op mod Israel, og han lod dem vanke om i Ørkenen i fyrretyve År, indtil hele den Slægt var gået til Grunde, der gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne.

And the LORD’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
