SCRIPTURE

"And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?" — Hebrews 3:17 (ASV)

With them that sinned (τοις αμαρτησασιν). Dative masculine plural after προσωχθισεν (cf. verse 10) of the articular first aorist active participle of αμαρτανω (αμαρτησας, not αμαρτων).

Carcases (κωλα). Old word for members of the body like the feet, in LXX a dead body (Numbers 14:29), here only in N.T.
