³⁴ The Lord heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and vowed, saying, ³⁵ “Not one of these men of this evil generation will see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers. ³⁶ The exception will be Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him I will give the land upon which he has walked, and to his children, because he has wholly followed the Lord.”

³⁷ Also the Lord was angry with me on your account, saying, “You also shall not go in. ³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in. Encourage him, for he will cause Israel to inherit it. ³⁹ Moreover, your little ones, who you said would be a prey, and your children, who in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it. ⁴⁰ But as for you, turn around, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
