Deuteronomy 1:38-40

International Standard Version

³⁸ However, Nun’s son Joshua, your assistant, will go there. Encourage him, for he will cause Israel to take possession of it. ³⁹ Your little ones—whom you said would be taken captive—and your children who do not yet^[a] know right from wrong will enter the land.^[b] I will give it to them and they themselves will possess it. ⁴⁰ But as for you, prepare to set out for the desert on the way to the Reed^[c] Sea.’
