Deuteronomy 1:34-40
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Penalty for Israel’s Rebellion
34 “When the Lord heard your words, he was wrathful and swore,(A) 35 ‘Not one of these—not one of this evil generation—shall see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors, 36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his descendants I will give the land on which he set foot, because of his complete fidelity to the Lord.’ 37 Even with me the Lord was angry on your account, saying, ‘You also shall not enter there.(B) 38 Joshua son of Nun, your assistant, shall enter there; encourage him, for he is the one who will secure Israel’s possession of it.(C) 39 And as for your little ones who you thought would become plunder, your children who today do not yet know right from wrong, they shall enter there; to them I will give it, and they shall take possession of it.(D) 40 But as for you, journey back into the wilderness, in the direction of the Red Sea.’[a](E)

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.’
