6. क्योंकि इस्राएली तो चालीस वर्ष तक जंगल में फिरते रहे, जब तक उस सारी जाति के लोग, अर्थात् जितने युद्ध के योग्य लोग मि से निकले थे वे नाश न हो गए, क्योंकि उन्हों ने यहोवा की न मानी थी; सो यहोवा ने शपथ खाकर उन से कहा था, कि जो देश मैं ने तुम्हारे पूर्वजों से शपथ खाकर तुम्हें देने को कहा था, और उस में दूध और मधु की धाराएं बहती हैं, वह देश मैं तुम को नहीं दिखाने का।
6. The people of Israel had moved around in the desert for 40 years. By the end of that time all of the men who were old enough to serve in the army when they left Egypt had died. That's because they hadn't obeyed the Lord. The Lord had taken an oath. He had told them they wouldn't see the land. It's the land he had promised with an oath to their people to give us. It's a land that has plenty of milk and honey.
