35. Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land which I swore to give to your fathers,
36. Except [Joshua, of course, and] Caleb son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land upon which he has walked, because he has wholly followed the Lord.
37. The Lord was angry with me also for your sakes, and said, You also shall not enter Canaan.
38. But Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall enter there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39. Moreover, your little ones whom you said would become a prey, and your children who at this time cannot discern between good and evil, they shall enter Canaan, and to them I will give it and they shall possess it.
40. But as for you, turn and journey into the wilderness by way of the Red Sea.
41. Then you said to me, We have sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight, as the Lord our God commanded us. And you girded on every man his battle weapons, and thought it a simple matter to go up into the hill country.
42. And the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up or fight, for I am not among you–lest you be dangerously hurt by your enemies.
43. So I spoke to you, and you would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and were presumptuous and went up into the hill country.
