* "
So we departed from Horeb ,
and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw on the way to the mountains of the Amorites ,
as the LORD our God had commanded us .
Then we came to Kadesh Barnea .
*
And I said to you , "
You have come to the mountains of the Amorites ,
which the LORD our God is giving us .
*
Look ,
the LORD your God has set the land before you ;
go up and possess it ,
as the LORD God of your fathers has spoken to you ;
do not fear or be discouraged .'
* "
And every one of you came near to me and said , "
Let us send men before us ,
and let them search out the land for us ,
and bring back word to us of the way by which we should go up ,
and of the cities into which we shall come .'
* "
The plan pleased me well ;
so I took twelve of your men ,
one man from each tribe .
*
And they departed and went up into the mountains ,
and came to the Valley of Eshcol ,
and spied it out .
*
They also took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us ;
and they brought back word to us ,
saying , "
It is a good land which the LORD our God is giving us .'
* "
Nevertheless you would not go up ,
but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God ;
*
and you complained in your tents ,
and said , "
Because the LORD hates us ,
He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites ,
to destroy us .
*
Where can we go up ?
Our brethren have discouraged our hearts ,
saying , "
The people are greater and taller than we ;
the cities are great and fortified up to heaven ;
moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there ."'
* "
Then I said to you , "
Do not be terrified ,
or afraid of them .
*
The LORD your God ,
who goes before you ,
He will fight for you ,
according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes ,
*
and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you ,
as a man carries his son ,
in all the way that you went until you came to this place .'
*
Yet ,
for all that ,
you did not believe the LORD your God ,
*
who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents ,
to show you the way you should go ,
in the fire by night and in the cloud by day .
