Deuteronomy 1:35 in context

The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 1.

31 and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”

32 But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,

33 who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.

34 When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,

35 “Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,

36 except 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.”

37 The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.

38 Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.

39 And 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.
