Deuteronomy 1:34 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:34

And the Lord heard the voice of your words
Of their murmurings against Moses and Aaron, and of their threatenings to them, Joshua and Caleb, and of their impious charge of hatred of them to God for bringing them out of Egypt, and of their rash wishes that they had died there or in the wilderness, and of their wicked scheme and proposal to make them a captain, and return to Egypt again:

and was wroth, and sware;
by his life, himself; see ( Numbers 14:28 ) ,

saying;
as follows.

Deuteronomy 1:34 In-Context

32 But through all of this you did not trust in Yahweh your God,

33 {who goes} {before you} on your way, seeking a place for your encampment, in fire at night and in a cloud by day, to show you the way that {you should go}.

34 "Then Yahweh heard the sound of your words, and he was angry, and he swore, {saying},

35 'No one of these men of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,

36 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; he himself shall see it, and to him I will give the land upon which he has trodden and to his sons because {he followed Yahweh unreservedly}.'
