NET

14 Now the length of time it took for us to go from Kadesh Barnea to the crossing of Wadi Zered was thirty-eight years, time for all the military men of that generation to die, just as the Lord had vowed to them.

Darby

14 Now the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the torrent^D1189 Zered, were thirty-eight years; until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn unto them.

Darby Bible Notes

torrent - Or 'valley;' elsewhere also translated 'river,' as in vers. 24,36,37. the word applies equally to the gorge in which the torrent runs; Gen. 26.17. See Note, ver.36.

KJV

14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
