Context of Deuteronomy 1:36

34When 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, 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.” 37The Lord became angry with me because of you. He said, “You won’t go there either. 38But your assistant Joshua, son of Nun, will go there. Encourage him, because he will help Israel take possession of the land.

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