Context of Deuteronomy 1:37
35“Not a single person of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors! 36The 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.” As 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. 39Also, your infants, who you thought would die on the way, and your children, who as yet do not know good from bad, will go there; I will give them the land and they will possess it.
