Deuteronomy 1:37-41

The Lord also got angry with me because of you. He told me, “Even you won't enter the country.

However, Joshua, son of Nun, your assistant, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will help Israel to occupy the land.

Your small children that you claimed would become prisoners, your children who at the time didn't know good from evil, they will be the ones to enter the land that I will give them, and they will occupy it.

But now turn around and head back into the desert on the road that leads to the Red Sea.”

But you answered and told me, “We have sinned against the Lord! We will go and we will fight and we will do everything the Lord our God has ordered us to do.” Then you all picked up your weapons and prepared for battle thinking it would be easy to go and fight in the hill country.
