34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words and was angry and swore, saying,

35 Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers,

36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he has trodden upon, and to his sons, because he has perfectly followed the LORD.

37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou shalt not go in there either.

38 But Joshua, the son of Nun, who stands before thee, he shall go in there; encourage him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 Moreover your little ones, whom ye said should be a prey and your children who in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in there, and unto them will I give it, and they shall inherit it.

40 But as for you, return and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

34 When the Lord heard(A) what you said, he was angry(B) and solemnly swore:(C) 35 “No one from this evil generation shall see the good land(D) I swore to give your ancestors, 36 except Caleb(E) son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly.(F)

37 Because of you the Lord became angry(G) with me also and said, “You shall not enter(H) it, either. 38 But your assistant, Joshua(I) son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage(J) him, because he will lead(K) Israel to inherit(L) it. 39 And the little ones that you said would be taken captive,(M) your children who do not yet know(N) good from bad—they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it. 40 But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.[a](O)
