HaShem decreed that just as all the men who have seen My glory (BeMidbar 14:22) – meaning, the generation of the spies will not see the Land, the same is true of future generations. Anyone who spreads an evil report about the Land will be stricken and will receive the punishment of the spies. This is the meaning of [the
next verse] And all who provoke Me shall not see it (ibid. 14:23), which refers to the future.
