Contextual Overview

¹⁹ Moses said to Israel: The Lord had commanded us to leave Mount Sinai and go to the hill country that belonged to the Amorites, so we started out into the huge desert. You remember how frightening it was, but soon we were at Kadesh-Barnea, ²⁰and I told you, "We have reached the hill country. It belongs to the Amorites now, but the Lord our God is giving it to us. He is the same God our ancestors worshiped, and he has told us to go in and take this land, so don't hesitate and be afraid." ²² Then all of you came to me and said, "Before we go into the land, let's send some men to explore it. When they come back, they can tell us about the towns we will find and what roads we should take to get there." ²³ It seemed like a good idea, so I chose twelve men, one from each tribe. ²⁴ They explored the hill country as far as Bunch Valley ²⁵ and even brought back some of the fruit. They said, "The Lord our God is giving us good land." ²⁶ Moses said to Israel: You did not want to go into the land, and you refused to obey the Lord your God. ²⁷ You stayed in your tents and grumbled, "The Lord must hate us—he brought us out of Egypt, just so he could hand us over to the Amorites and get rid of us. ²⁸ We are afraid, because the men who explored the land told us that the cities are large, with walls that reach to the sky. The people who live there are taller and stronger than we are, and some of them are Anakim. We have nowhere to go." ²⁹ Then I said, "Don't worry!
