For the children  of Israel  walked   forty  years  in the wilderness, till all the people  that were men  of war, which came out   of Egypt, were consumed , because they obeyed   not the voice  of the LORD : unto whom the LORD  sware   that he would not shew   them the land, which the LORD  sware   unto their fathers  that he would give   us, a land  that floweth   with milk  and honey.
