22 Then came you all unto me and said, let us send men before us to search out the land for us, and to bring us word by what way we shall go up into it, and into what Cities we shall enter. 23 That saying liked me well, and thereupon I took twelve men among you, of every tribe one. 24 And they departed, and went up into the Mountains, and came to the river of Escol, and searched out the land. 25 And they took of the fruits of the Land in their hands, and brought them to us, and brought us word again and said, The Land which the Lord our God giveth us is good. 26 Yet notwithstanding, you would not go up, but were disobedient to the commandment of the Lord your God. ⟨p. 31⟩27 And you murmured in your tents and said, because the Lord hateth us, therefore hath he made us to come out of the Country of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to be destroyed. 28 How shall we go up? Our brethren have made our hearts to quail, by saying: The people are moe in number and taller of stature than we. The Cities are great, and walled up to the sky. And moreover we have seen there the sons of the Enakims.
