Ulangan 1:34-35

1:34 When the Lord heard you, he became angry and made this vow: ¹  1:35 “Not a single person ²  of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors!

Yosua 5:6

5:6 Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the desert until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the Lord, died off. ³  For the Lord had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn on oath to give them, ⁴  a land rich in ⁵  milk and honey.

[1:34]  ¹ tn Heb “and swore,” i.e., made an oath or vow.

[1:35]  ² tn Heb “Not a man among these men.”

[5:6]  ³ tn Heb “all the nation, the men of war who went out from Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of the Lord, came to an end.”

[5:6]  ⁴ tn Some Hebrew mss, as well as the Syriac version, support this reading. Most ancient witnesses read “us.”

[5:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “flowing with.”

[5:6]  sn The word picture a land rich in milk and honey depicts the land as containing many grazing areas (which would produce milk) and flowering plants (which would support the bees that produced honey).
