rsv Deuteronomy:1:25-33
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:25 @ And they took in their hands some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, `It is a good land which the LORD our God gives us.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:26 @ "Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God;
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:27 @ and you murmured in your tents, and said, `Because the LORD hated us he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:28 @ Whither are we going up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, "The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there."'
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:29 @ Then I said to you, `Do not be in dread or afraid of them.
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:30 @ The LORD your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:31 @ and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the LORD your God bore you, as a man bears his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:32 @ Yet in spite of this word you did not believe the LORD your God,
rsv@Deuteronomy:1:33 @ who went before you in the way to seek you out a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
