Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Israel’s Refusal to Enter the Land

¹⁹ “And we set out from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, on the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Ka′desh-bar′nea. ²⁰ And I said to you, ‘You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God gives us. ²¹ Behold, the Lord your God has set the land before you; go up, take possession, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has told you; do not fear or be dismayed.’
