Deuteronomy 1:34-40

Expanded Bible

³⁴ When the Lord heard what you said, he was angry and ·made an oath [swore], saying, ³⁵ “I promised a good land to your ·ancestors [fathers], but none of ·you evil people [this evil generation] will see it. ³⁶ Only Caleb son of Jephunneh will see it [Num. 14:24]. I will give him and his descendants the land he walked on, because he followed the Lord completely [Josh. 15:13–19; Judg. 1:9–15].”

³⁷ Because of you, the Lord was also angry with me and said, “You won’t enter the land either [Num. 20:12], ³⁸ but ·your assistant [^Lthe one who stands before you], Joshua son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage him, because he will lead Israel to take the land for their own.

³⁹ “Your little children that you said would be ·captured [plunder], who do not know right from wrong at this time, will go into the land. I will give the land to them, and they will ·take it for their own [possess it]. ⁴⁰ But you must turn ·around [^Lface] and follow the ·desert [wilderness] road toward the ·Red [or Reed] Sea [Ex. 10:19].”
