“Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:”
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me — the sworn oath excluded the entire adult generation (except Joshua and Caleb) from the land. Their failure was in not wholly following the LORD: their hearts divided between the promise and their fears. The phrase "wholly followed" (hemeluah) emphasizes undivided allegiance.
