Deuteronomy 1:37 In-Context

35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
36 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.

39 Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
