Deuteronomy 1:34-40
New American Standard Bible
34 “Then the Lord 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 I will give the land on which he has set foot, and to his sons, because he has followed the Lord fully.’ 37 (D)The Lord 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)shall himself enter there; encourage him, for (G)he will give it to Israel as an inheritance. 39 Moreover, (H)your little ones who, you said, would become plunder, and your sons, who this day have (I)no knowledge of good and evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them and they shall take possession of it. 40 But as for you, (J)turn around and set out for the wilderness by the way of the [a]Red Sea.’

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.’
