Deuteronomy 1:29-40
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
29But I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, nor fear them. 30The Lord your God, who goes before you, will Himself fight for you, just as He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 31and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, just as a man carries his son, on all of the road which you have walked until you came to this place.’ 32Yet in spite of all this, you did not trust the Lord your God, 33who goes before you on your way, to seek out a place for you to make camp, in the fire by night to show you the way by which you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34Then the Lord heard the sound of your words, and He was angry and swore an oath, saying,
35‘Not one of these men, this evil generation, shall see the good land which I swore to give your fathers,
36except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land on which he has set foot, and to his sons, because he has followed the Lord fully.’
37The Lord was angry with me also on your account, saying, ‘Not even you shall enter there.
38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall himself enter there; encourage him, for he will give it to Israel as an inheritance.
39Moreover, your little ones who, you said, would become plunder, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good and evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them and they shall take possession of it.
40But as for you, turn around and set out for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.’
King James Version
Chapter 1
29Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 30The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; 31And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. 32Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, 33Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. 34And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, 35Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers, 36Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD. 37Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither. 38But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 39Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto 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 of the Red sea.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
29"So I said to you: Don't be terrified or afraid of them! 30The Lord your God who goes before you will fight for you, just as you saw him do for you in Egypt. 31And you saw in the wilderness how the Lord your God carried you as a man carries his son all along the way you traveled until you reached this place. 32But in spite of this you did not trust the Lord your God, 33who went before you on the journey to seek out a place for you to camp. He went in the fire by night and in the cloud by day to guide you on the road you were to travel.
34"When the Lord heard your words, he grew angry and swore an oath:
35None of these men in this evil generation will see the good land I swore to give your ancestors,
36except Caleb the 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 remained loyal to the Lord.'
37"The Lord was angry with me also because of you and said, 'You will not enter there either.
38Joshua son of Nun, who attends you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit it.
39Your children, who you said would be plunder, your sons who don't yet know good from evil, will enter there. I will give them the land, and they will take possession of it.
40But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea.'
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
29But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid of them! 30The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt. 31And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way as you traveled through the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place.’
32But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God,
33who goes before you looking for the best places to camp, guiding you with a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day.
34When the Lord heard your complaining, he became very angry. So he solemnly swore,
35‘Not one of you from this wicked generation will live to see the good land I swore to give your ancestors,
36except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see this land because he has followed the Lord completely. I will give to him and his descendants some of the very land he explored during his scouting mission.’
37And the Lord was also angry with me because of you. He said to me, ‘Moses, not even you will enter the Promised Land!
38Instead, your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will lead the people into the land. Encourage him, for he will lead Israel as they take possession of it.
39I will give the land to your little ones — your innocent children. You were afraid they would be captured, but they will be the ones who occupy it.
40As for you, turn around now and go on back through the wilderness toward the Red Sea. ’

Chapter 1
29Then I said to you, ‘Do not be in dread or afraid of them. 30The LORD your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 31and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.’ 32Yet in spite of this word you did not believe the LORD your God, 33who went before you in the way to seek you out a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night and in the cloud by day, to show you by what way you should go.
34“And the LORD heard your words and was angered, and he swore,
35‘Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land that I swore to give to your fathers,
36except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land on which he has trodden, because he has wholly followed the LORD!’
37Even with me the LORD was angry on your account and said, ‘You also shall not go in there.
38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall enter. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.
40But as for you, turn, and journey into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea.’
New International Version
Chapter 1
29Then I said to you, 'Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. 30The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, 31and in the wilderness. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.'
32In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God,
33who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
34When the LORD heard what you said, he was angry and solemnly swore:
35No one from this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your ancestors,
36except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.'
37Because of you the LORD became angry with me also and said, 'You shall not enter it, either.
38But your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage him, because he will lead Israel to inherit it.
39And the little ones that you said would be taken captive, your children who do not yet know good from bad--they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it.
40But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.'
