יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ ע֤וֹד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
죄인을 땅에서 소멸하시며 악인을 다시 있지 못하게 하실지로다 내 영혼아 여호와를 송축하라 할렐루야
Zohar
All of them were successful men, and they were chieftains in Israel. But they spoke among themselves an evil counsel. Why did they take this counsel? They said, if Israel will go up to the [promised] land, we will be stripped of our being chieftains, and Moshe will institute chieftains after us, because in the desert we merit to be chieftains, but in the land we will not be of [such] merit. And because they took between themselves this evil counsel, they themselves died, and all those who received their words.
