Contextual Overview

²⁰ Then the Lord said to Moses: In answer to your prayer, I do forgive them. ²¹ But as surely as I live and my power has no limit, ²²I swear that not one of these Israelites will enter the land I promised to give their ancestors. These people have seen my power in Egypt and in the desert, but they will never see Canaan. They have disobeyed and tested me too many times. ²⁴ But my servant Caleb isn't like the others. So because he has faith in me, I will allow him to cross into Canaan, and his descendants will settle there. ²⁵ Now listen, Moses! The Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys of Canaan. And tomorrow morning, you'll need to turn around and head back into the desert toward the Red Sea. ²⁶ The Lord told Moses and Aaron ²⁷to give this message to the people of Israel: You sinful people have complained against me too many times! Now I swear by my own life that I will give you exactly what you wanted. ²⁹ You will die right here in the desert, and your dead bodies will cover the ground. You have insulted me, and none of you men who are over twenty years old ³⁰ will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give you as your own—only Caleb and Joshua will go in. ³¹ You were worried that your own children would be captured. But I, the Lord , will let them enter the land you have rejected.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Doubtless ye shall not come into the land,.... The land of Canaan; or "if ye shall come" a; that is, I swear ye shall not, so the Targum of Jonathan:

[concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein; not them personally, but the people and nation of which they were, and to which they belonged, the seed and posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom the oath was made:

save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun; who brought a good report of the land. Caleb is mentioned first, as Aben Ezra thinks, because he first appeased and quieted the people; but in

Numbers 14:38 Joshua stands first, so that nothing is to be inferred from hence; these were the only two of the spies that went into the land of Canaan, Numbers 13:4; and the only two of the Israelites that were numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, Numbers 14:29; those of the tribe of Levi, not being in that account, must be remembered to be excepted also.
