Deuteronomy 1:38

JoshuaNun
Serving others

36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”

37 The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.

Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.

39 And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.

40 But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
