Deuteronomy 1:6-8

The LORD Commands and Israel Refuses

From divine command to advance (vv. 6-8), through institutional ordering for justice (vv. 9-18), to covenant crisis at Kadesh-barnea (vv. 19-46) — the chapter moves from promise and structure through failure and judgment, ending with Israel camped under wrath at the threshold of a generation-long delay.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6 The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.

7 Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills, in the Negev, and along the seacoast to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.

8 See, I have placed the land before you. Enter and possess the land that the LORD swore He would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them.”
