Deuteronomy 1:34-40

International Standard Version

Entrance is Denied

³⁴ “When the Lord heard your complaints, he became angry and declared, ³⁵ ‘I swear that not one man of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors, ³⁶ except Jephunneh’s son Caleb. He will see it and I will give to him and to his descendants the land on which he has walked because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord.’

³⁷ “The Lord was also furious with me because of you. He said: ‘You will not enter the land.^{[a] 38} However, Nun’s son Joshua, your assistant, will go there. Encourage him, for he will cause Israel to take possession of it. ³⁹ Your little ones—whom you said would be taken captive—and your children who do not yet^[b] know right from wrong will enter the land.^[c] I will give it to them and they themselves will possess it. ⁴⁰ But as for you, prepare to set out for the desert on the way to the Reed^[d] Sea.’
