Deuteronomy 1:30-39
-
30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
-
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
-
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
-
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
-
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
-
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
-
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
-
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
-
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
-
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
