35. “Not one of these evil people will ever see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,
36. except Caleb, son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give the land that he set his feet on to him and his descendants, because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord.”
37. The Lord became angry with me because of you. He said, “You won’t go there either.
38. But your assistant Joshua, son of Nun, will go there. Encourage him, because he will help Israel take possession of the land.
39. Although you thought the little children would be captured in war, your children, who are still too young to know the difference between good and evil, will enter that land. I will give it to them, and they will take possession of it.
40. Turn around, go back into the desert, and follow the road that goes to the Red Sea.”
