Joshua
Chapter 5
Back to ChaptersKJV - Joshua 5:6 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. The children of Israel wandered in the desert for 40 years. During this time, all the war-ready people who left Egypt died because they didn't listen to God's voice. God had promised their ancestors a land full of milk and honey, but because they disobeyed, He wouldn't show it to them.
