Deuteronomy 1:34-46


34 “Then Yahweh heard the sound of your words, and He was angry and aswore an oath, saying,
35 ‘aNot one of these men, this evil generation, shall see the good land which I swore to give your fathers, 36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and ato him and to his sons I will give the land on which he has set foot, because he has followed Yahweh fully.’ 37 aYahweh was angry with me also on your account, saying, ‘bNot even you shall enter there. 38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, ahe shall enter there; strengthen him, for bhe will cause Israel to inherit it. 39 Moreover, ayour little ones who you said would become plunder, and your sons, who this day have bno knowledge of good or evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them, and they shall possess it. 40 But as for you, aturn around and set out for the wilderness by the way to the 1Red Sea.’
41 “aThen you said to me, ‘We have sinned against Yahweh; we will indeed go up and fight, just as Yahweh our God commanded us.’ And every man of you girded on his weapons of war and regarded it as easy to go up into the hill country.
42 aAnd Yahweh said to me, ‘Say to them, “Do not go up and do not fight—for I am not among you—so that you are not 1defeated before your enemies.”’ 43 So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead ayou rebelled against the 1command of Yahweh and acted presumptuously and went up into the hill country. 44 aAnd the Amorites who 1lived in that hill country came out to meet you and pursued you bas bees do and crushed you from Seir to Hormah. 45 Then you returned and wept before Yahweh; but aYahweh did not listen to your voice nor give ear to you. 46 So you remained in aKadesh many days, according to the days that you remained there.
