Numbers 14:6-10

New King James Version

⁶But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; ⁷and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: ^(A)“The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. ⁸If the Lord ^(B)delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ^(C)‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ ⁹Only ^(D)do not rebel against the Lord, ^(E)nor fear the people of the land, for ^(F)they^[a] are our bread; their protection has departed from them, ^(G)and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”

¹⁰^(H)And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now ^(I)the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.
