35“Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
36except 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.”
37The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
38Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
39And 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.
40But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
41“We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
42But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
43So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
44Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
— Deuteronomy 1:35-45
