Deuteronomy 1:34-38 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

34. When the Lord heard what you said, he was angry. He made a promise. He said,

35. “I promised a good land to your ancestors. But none of you evil people will see it.

36. Only Caleb son of Jephunneh will see it. I will give him and his descendants the land he walked on. I will do this because he followed me completely.”

37. Because of you, the Lord was also angry with me. He said to me, “You won’t enter the land either.

38. But your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will go there. Encourage Joshua, because he will lead Israel to take the land for their own.”
