Context of Deuteronomy 1:36

34When the Lord heard that you were complaining, he was angry. He made this serious promise: 35‘You people who are now alive are wicked. None of you will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors. Only Jephunneh's son Caleb will see it. He has obeyed me faithfully. So I will give to him and to his descendants the land that he walked on.’ 37As for me, the Lord became angry with me also, because of you. He said to me, ‘You also will not go into the land. 38But your servant Joshua, the son of Nun, will go in there. You must tell him to be brave. He will lead the Israelites into the land. It will become their land.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-46Verses 19-46 Moses reminds the Israelites of their march from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, through that great and terrible wilderness. He shows how near they were to a happy settlement in Canaan. It will aggravate the eternal ruin of hypocrites, that they were not far from the kingdom of God.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 36Caleb was one of the twelve spies Moses sent to assess the political and military situation in Canaan.
