Deuteronomy 1:24-28
1:24 They left and went up to the hill country, coming to the Eshcol Valley,
which they scouted out.
1:25 Then they took
some of the produce of the land and carried it back down to us. They also brought a report to us, saying, “The land that the
Lord our God is about to give us is good.”
Disobedience at Kadesh Barnea
1:26 You were not willing to go up, however, but instead rebelled against the Lord your God.
1:27 You complained among yourselves privately and said, “Because the Lord hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us!
1:28 What is going to happen to us? Our brothers have drained away our courage by describing people who are more numerous and taller than we are, and great cities whose defenses appear to be as high as heaven itself! Moreover, they said they saw Anakites there.”
