Deuteronomy 1:24

Read in context

Deuteronomy 1:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter.”

23 The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.

24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.

25 They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.”

26 But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
