“And the space in which we came from Kadesh–barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them.”
And the time we took to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed the brook Zered was thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war had passed away from the midst of the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them -- the wilderness years are finally quantified: thirty-eight years (from the Kadesh rebellion to the Zered crossing). The 'men of war' (able-bodied men of the original exodus generation) died in the wilderness, fulfilling the oath. The new generation now proceeds toward Canaan.
