Deuteronomy 1:39-41

New King James Version

^39 (A)‘Moreover your little ones and your children, who ^(B)you say will be victims, who today ^(C)have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it. ^40 (D)But as for you, turn and take your journey into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea.’

⁴¹ “Then you answered and said to me, ^(E)‘We have sinned against the Lord; we will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.’ And when everyone of you had girded on his weapons of war, you were ready to go up into the mountain.
