Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy says the LORD swore that the men of that generation would not see the good land, with specific exceptions named Deuteronomy 1:34–36. The result was turning back toward the wilderness and continued wandering Deuteronomy 1:40. The next generation would enter instead Deuteronomy 1:39.
34Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
35Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
36save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.
37Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in there:
38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to 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 to the Red Sea.
