Numeri 32:13

Zo ontstak de toorn van Jahweh tegen Israël en liet Hij ze veertig jaar lang in de woestijn zwerven, tot heel het geslacht, dat kwaad had gedaan in de ogen van Jahweh, was gestorven.

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.
