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!' 37Even with me the Lord was angry on your account and said, 'You also shall not go in there. 38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall enter. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
