"Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord,
shall make Myself known to him in a vision,
I shall speak with him in a dream,
7Not so, with My servant Moses,
He is faithful in all My household;
8With Him I speak mouth to mouth,
Even openly and not in dark sayings,
And he beholds the form of the Lord."
- Numbers 12 : 6 - 8

"Surely you shall not come into the land in which I swore to settle you,
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
31Your children, however, who you said would become a prey—
I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.
32But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness.
33Your sons shall be shepherds for forty years in the wilderness,
and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until your corpses lie in the wilderness.
34According to the number of days which you spied out the land,
forty days, for every day you shall bear your guilt a year,
even forty years, and you will know My opposition."
