Deuteronomy 1:26-28

Modern English Version

Israel Rebels

²⁶ Yet you were not willing to go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God. ²⁷ You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because the Lord hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us. ²⁸ Where shall we go up? Our brothers have discouraged our hearts, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and walled up to heaven. And moreover, we have seen the sons of the Anakites there.’ ”
