Deuteronomy 1:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ Twelve Explorers. Then, as the Lord, our God, had commanded us, we set out from Horeb. We passed through the great and terrible wilderness that you have seen up into the hill country of the Amorites, coming to Kadesh-barnea. ²⁰ I said to you, “Come up into the hill country of the Amorites that the Lord, our God, is giving to us. ²¹ Look! The Lord, your God, has given the land to you. Go up and take possession of it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has instructed you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
