Deuteronomy 1:34-40

New International Version

³⁴ When the Lord heard^(A) what you said, he was angry^(B) and solemnly swore:^{(C) 35} “No one from this evil generation shall see the good land^(D) I swore to give your ancestors, ³⁶ except Caleb^(E) son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly.^(F)”

³⁷ Because of you the Lord became angry^(G) with me also and said, “You shall not enter^(H) it, either. ³⁸ But your assistant, Joshua^(I) son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage^(J) him, because he will lead^(K) Israel to inherit^(L) it. ³⁹ And the little ones that you said would be taken captive,^(M) your children who do not yet know^(N) good from bad—they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it. ⁴⁰ But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.^[a](O)”
