Deuteronomy 1:37-39

Contemporary English Version

³⁷ The Lord was even angry with me because of you people, and he said, “Moses, I won't let you go into the land either. ³⁸ Instead, I will let Joshua^[a] your assistant lead Israel to conquer the land. So encourage him.”

³⁹ Then the Lord spoke to you again:

People of Israel, you said that your innocent young children would be taken prisoner in the battle for the land. But someday I will let them go into the land, and with my help they will conquer it and live there.
