32 In spite of this, you didn’t trust the Lord your God,
33 who went ahead of you to find places for you to camp. He appeared in a column of fire at night and in a column of smoke during the day to show you which route to take.
34 When the Lord heard what you said, he was angry and took this oath:
35 “Not one of these evil people will ever see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,
36 except Caleb, son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give the land that he set his feet on to him and his descendants, because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord.”
37 The Lord became angry with me because of you. He said, “You won’t go there either.
38 But your assistant Joshua, son of Nun, will go there. Encourage him, because he will help Israel take possession of the land.
