Deuteronomy 1:36-38
New English Translation
36 The exception is Caleb son of Jephunneh;[a] 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.”[b] 37 As for me, the Lord was also angry with me on your account. He said, “You also will not be able to go there. 38 However, Joshua son of Nun, your assistant,[c] will go. Encourage him, because he will enable Israel to inherit the land.[d]
Read full chapterFootnotes
- Deuteronomy 1:36 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).
- Deuteronomy 1:36 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.
- Deuteronomy 1:38 tn Heb “the one who stands before you”; NAB “your aide”; TEV “your helper.”
- Deuteronomy 1:38 tn Heb “it”; the referent (the land) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
