You replied to me that what I had said to you was good.

You complained among yourselves privately<n id="1" /> and said, &#8220;Because the <sc>Lordsc> hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us!

So all of you approached me and said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s send some men ahead of us to scout out the land and bring us back word as to how we should attack it and what the cities are like there.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then you responded to me and admitted, &#8220;We have sinned against the <sc>Lordsc>. We will now go up and fight as the <sc>Lordsc> our God has told us to do.&#8221; So you each put on your battle gear and prepared to go up to the hill country.

You said, &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> our God has shown us his great glory<n id="1" /> and we have heard him speak from the middle of the fire. It is now clear to us<n id="2" /> that God can speak to human beings and they can keep on living.
