For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Joshua 5:6 · BBE

Translations

ASV

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah: unto whom Jehovah sware that he would not let them see the land which Jehovah sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

BBE

For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

GRK

Διοτι τεσσαρακοντα ετη περιηρχοντο οι υιοι Ισραηλ εν τη ερημω, εωσου ετελευτησαν πας ο λαος, οι ανδρες του πολεμου, οι εξελθοντες εξ Αιγυπτου, επειδη δεν υπηκουσαν εις την φωνην του Κυριου· προς τους οποιους ο Κυριος ωμοσεν, οτι δεν θελει αφησει αυτους να ιδωσι την γην, την οποιαν ωμοσεν ο Κυριος προς τους πατερας αυτων οτι θελει δωσει εις ημας, γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι.

KJV

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.
