Deuteronomy 1:34-40
English Standard Version
The Penalty for Israel's Rebellion
34 “And the Lord heard your words and was angered, and he swore, 35 (A)‘Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land that I swore to give to your fathers, 36 (B)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land on which he has trodden, because he has wholly followed the Lord!’ 37 Even with me (C)the Lord was angry on your account and said, ‘You also shall not go in there. 38 (D)Joshua the son of Nun, (E)who stands before you, he shall enter. (F)Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 39 And as for (G)your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today (H)have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it. 40 But as for you, (I)turn, and journey into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea.’

34 “Then Yahweh heard the sound of your words, and he was angry, and he swore, saying,[a] 35 ‘No one of these men[b] of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,[c] 36 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; he himself[d] shall see it, and to him I will give the land upon which he has trodden and to his sons[e] because he followed Yahweh unreservedly.’[f] 37 Even with me Yahweh was angry because of you, saying, ‘Not even you shall enter there. 38 Joshua, the son of Nun, your assistant,[g] will go there; encourage him because he will cause Israel to inherit it. 39 And your little children, who you thought shall become plunder, and your sons, who do not today know good or bad, shall themselves[h] go there, and I will give it to them, and they shall take possession of it. 40 But you turn and set out in the direction of the wilderness by way of the Red Sea.’[i]
