Context of Deuteronomy 1:36

34When the Lord heard you, he became angry and made this vow: 35“Not a single person of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors! The exception is Caleb son of Jephunneh; he will see it and I will give him and his descendants the territory on which he has walked, because he has wholeheartedly followed me.” 37As for me, the Lord was also angry with me on your account. He said, “You also will not be able to go there. 38However, Joshua son of Nun, your assistant, will go. Encourage him, because he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
