Deuteronomy 1:35-36
1:35 “Not a single person 1 of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors!
1:36 The exception is Caleb son of Jephunneh; 2 he will see it and I will give him and his descendants the territory on which he has walked, because he has wholeheartedly followed me.” 3
1 tn Heb “Not a man among these men.”
2 sn Caleb had, with Joshua, brought back to Israel a minority report from Canaan urging a conquest of the land, for he was confident of the Lord’s power (Num 13:6, 8, 16, 30; 14:30, 38).
3 tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“me”) has been employed in the translation, since it sounds strange to an English reader for the Lord to speak about himself in third person.
