Deuteronomy 1:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ Still you were not willing to go up, and you rebelled against the order of the Lord your God. ²⁷ You complained in your tents and said, “Because the Lord hates us, he brought us out of the land of Egypt to hand us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us. ²⁸ Where are we going? Our brothers have made our hearts melt by saying, ‘People there are stronger and taller than we are! There are large cities with fortified walls up to the skies! Also, we have seen the descendants of Anak there!’”
