📚 Historical Context

This verse is part of God's judgment on the Israelites after they refused to enter the Promised Land following the negative report of ten spies. The people had rebelled against God's command to take possession of Canaan, choosing instead to believe the fearful report rather than trusting in God's power. As punishment, God declared that the entire adult generation (except Joshua and Caleb) would wander in the wilderness for 40 years until they died.
