In context

38Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.

39And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.

40But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”

41“We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.

42But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
