Exegesis
The verse begins with the adversative ki im {כִּי אִם | kî ʾim} introducing the exclusion “but except,” reversing the expected protasis of im {אִם | ʾim} ‘if.’
In context — Numbers 14:30
Not one of you shall enter the land that I lifted up My hand to settle you in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
