19 By your great love, forgive these people’s sin, just as you have forgiven them from the time they left Egypt until now.”
20 The Lord answered, “I have forgiven them as you asked.
21 But, as surely as I live and as surely as my glory fills the whole earth, I make this promise:
22 All these people saw my glory and the miracles I did in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me and tested me ten times.
23 So not one of them will see the land I promised to their ancestors. No one who rejected me will see that land.
24 But my servant Caleb thinks differently and follows me completely. So I will bring him into the land he has already seen, and his children will own that land.
25 Since the Amalekites and the Canaanites are living in the valleys, leave tomorrow and follow the desert road toward the Red Sea.”
