16 ‘Because of Jehovah’s not being able to bring this people into the land about which he swore to them he proceeded to slaughter them in the wilderness.’+

15 And I myself also lifted up my hand [in an oath] to them in the wilderness,+ not to bring them into the land that I had given, one flowing with milk and honey,+ (it is the decoration of all the lands,)+

5 I desire to remind YOU, despite YOUR knowing all things+ once for all time, that Jehovah,* although he saved a people out of the land of Egypt,+ afterwards destroyed those not showing faith.+
