³⁸ But your servant Joshua, the son of Nun, will go in there. You must tell him to be brave. He will lead the Israelites into the land. It will become their land. ³⁹ You thought that enemies would catch your small children. But they are the people who will go into the land. Your children who are still too young to know the difference between good and bad will also go in there. I will give the land to them and it will become their land. ⁴⁰ But now you must all turn back towards the desert. Travel along the road to the Red Sea.’
