Deuteronomy 1:36-46 ▼

36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him I am giving the land that he walked in, and to his sons, on account of that he has been fully after YHWH.”

37 Also YHWH was angry with me for your⁺ sakes, saying, “Even you shall not go in there.

38 Joshua son of Nun who stands before you, he shall go in there; strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 And your⁺ little ones, whom you⁺ said would be for plunder, and your⁺ sons, who have no knowledge today of good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.

40 And as for you⁺, turn and set out for yourselves into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”

41 And you⁺ answered and said to me, “We have sinned against YHWH. We will go up and fight, according to all that YHWH our God commanded us.” And you⁺ had girded on, every man, of his weapons of war, and you⁺ were ready to go up into the mountain.

42 And YHWH said to me, “Tell them: Do not go up, nor fight, for I am not among you⁺, lest you⁺ be stricken before the faces of your⁺ enemies.”

43 And I spoke to you⁺ and you⁺ would not listen, and you⁺ rebelled against the mouth of YHWH and proudly went up into the mountain.

44 And the Amorite who dwelt in that mountain came out against you⁺ and chased you⁺ like the bees do, and drove you⁺ back from Seir to Hormah.

45 And you⁺ returned and you⁺ wept before the face of YHWH; YHWH would not listen to your⁺ voice, nor give ear to you⁺.

46 And you⁺ remained in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you⁺ had dwelt.
