Contextual Overview

¹⁹ "We did what the Lord our God commanded us. We left Mount Sinai and went through that vast and fearful desert on the way to the hill country of the Amorites. When we reached Kadesh Barnea, ²⁰I told you, ‘You have now come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God, the God of our ancestors, is giving us. Look, there it is. Go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not hesitate or be afraid.' ²² "But you came to me and said, ‘Let's send men ahead of us to spy out the land, so that they can tell us the best route to take and what kind of cities are there.' ²³ "That seemed like a good thing to do, so I selected twelve men, one from each tribe. ²⁴ They went into the hill country as far as Eshcol Valley and explored it. ²⁵ They brought us back some fruit they found there, and reported that the land which the Lord our God was giving us was very fertile. ²⁶ "But you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God, and you would not enter the land. ²⁷ You grumbled to one another: ‘The Lord hates us. He brought us out of Egypt just to hand us over to these Amorites, so that they could kill us. ²⁸ Why should we go there? We are afraid. The men we sent tell us that the people there are stronger and taller than we are, and that they live in cities with walls that reach the sky. They saw giants there!' ²⁹ "But I told you, ‘Don't be afraid of those people.

:-,

go up; the mountain, by that way of it which was the way the spies went, and up to which some of the Israelites presumed to go when forbidden, they not complying with the call of God:

and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; as in Deuteronomy 1:8,

fear not, neither be discouraged; though the people of the land were numerous and strong, and their cities large and walled.
