“And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.”
Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness' — the forty-year wilderness sojourn (one year per day of spying) becomes the temporal framework for the adult generation's death; the children will wander with their parents, innocent yet subject to the consequences of parental unfaithfulness, until the faithless generation is exhausted.
