The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them.

So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.

Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, then we shall die.

Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.

Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.

You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.
