Context of Deuteronomy 1:38
36except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He will see it—yet to him and his children I will give the land that he has walked on, because he has followed Adonai wholeheartedly.’ 37“Adonai was even angry with me on your account, saying, ‘You will not enter there, either.

To them I will give it and they will possess it. 40But as for you, turn around and journey into the wilderness by way of the Sea of Reeds .’
