36save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.
37Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in there:
38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
41Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.
42Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don`t go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.
