34 “Then Yahweh heard the sound of your words, and He was angry and (A)swore an oath, saying, 35 (B)Not one of these men, this evil generation, shall see the good land which I swore to give your fathers, 36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and (C)to him and to his sons I will give the land on which he has set foot, because he has followed Yahweh fully.’ 37 (D)Yahweh was angry with me also on your account, saying, ‘(E)Not even you shall enter there. 38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, (F)he shall enter there; strengthen him, for (G)he will cause Israel to inherit it. 39 Moreover, (H)your little ones who you said would become plunder, and your sons, who this day have (I)no knowledge of good or evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them, and they shall possess it. 40 But as for you, (J)turn around and set out for the wilderness by the way to the [a]Red Sea.’

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.’
