Context of Deuteronomy 1:36

34“Then the Lord heard the sound of your words, and He was angry and swore an oath, saying, 35‘Not one of these men, this evil generation, shall see the good land which I swore to give your fathers, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land on which he has set foot, and to his sons, because he has followed the Lord fully.’ 37The Lord was angry with me also on your account, saying, ‘Not even you shall enter there. 38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall himself enter there; encourage him, for he will give it to Israel as an inheritance.

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