Deuteronomy 1:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ But the people refused to go in and rebelled against the Lord’s command.

²⁷ “They murmured and complained in their tents and said, ‘The Lord must hate us, bringing us here from Egypt to be slaughtered by these Amorites. ²⁸ What are we getting into? Our brothers who spied out the land have frightened us with their report. They say that the people of the land are tall and powerful, and that the walls of their cities rise high into the sky! They have even seen giants there—the descendants of the Anakim!’
