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!' 37 Even with me q the Lord was angry on your account and said, 'You also shall not go in there. 38 r Joshua the son of Nun, r who stands before you, he shall enter. s Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 39 And as for t your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today u have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.
