Deuteronomy 1:38-40

New Century Version

³⁸ but your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage him, because he will lead Israel to take the land for their own.

³⁹ “Your little children that you said would be captured, who do not know right from wrong at this time, will go into the land. I will give the land to them, and they will take it for their own. ⁴⁰ But you must turn around and follow the desert road toward the Red Sea.”
