34 “All the while Jehovah heard what you were saying, and he became indignant and solemnly swore,+ 35 ‘Not one of these men of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to your fathers,+ 36 except Caʹleb the son of Je·phunʹneh. He will see it, and I will give the land on which he walked to him and to his sons, because he has followed Jehovah wholeheartedly.*+ 37 (Jehovah even became angry with me because of you, and he said, “You too will not go in there.+ 38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you,+ is the one who will enter into the land.+ Make him strong,*+ for he will cause Israel to inherit it.”)

8 Although my brothers who went up with me caused the people to lose heart,* I followed Jehovah my God wholeheartedly.*+
