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

But [as for] you, your carcasses,.... Which way of speaking seems to be used to distinguish them from their children;

they shall fall in this wilderness: which is repeated for the confirmation and certainty it, and an emphasis is laid on the words, this which are pronounced with an accent, to put them in mind of their wish, Numbers 14:2.
