Deuteronomy 1:34-40
New King James Version
The Penalty for Israel’s Rebellion(A)
34 “And the Lord heard the sound of your words, and was angry, (B)and took an oath, saying, 35 (C)‘Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land of which I [a]swore to give to your fathers, 36 (D)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and his children I am giving the land on which he walked, because (E)he [b]wholly followed the Lord.’ 37 (F)The Lord was also angry with me for your sakes, saying, ‘Even you shall not go in there. 38 (G)Joshua the son of Nun, (H)who stands before you, he shall go in there. (I)Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 (J)‘Moreover your little ones and your children, who (K)you say will be victims, who today (L)have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it. 40 (M)But as for you, turn and take your journey into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea.’
