Deuteronomy 1:25-27
New English Translation
25 Then they took[a] some of the produce of the land and carried it back down to us. They also brought a report to us, saying, “The land that the Lord our God is about to give us is good.”
Disobedience at Kadesh Barnea
26 You were not willing to go up, however, but instead rebelled against the Lord your God.[b] 27 You complained among yourselves privately[c] and said, “Because the Lord hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us!

- Deuteronomy 1:25 tn The Hebrew text includes “in their hand,” which is unnecessary and somewhat redundant in English style.
- Deuteronomy 1:26 tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord your God.” To include “the mouth” would make for odd English style. The mouth stands by metonymy for the Lord’s command, which in turn represents the Lord himself.
- Deuteronomy 1:27 tn Heb “in your tents,” that is, privately.
