Deuteronomy 1:26-28

International Children’s Bible

Israel Refuses to Enter

²⁶ But you refused to go. You would not obey the command of the Lord your God. ²⁷ You grumbled in your tents. You said, “The Lord hates us. He brought us out of Egypt just to give us to the Amorites. They will destroy us. ²⁸ Where can we go now? The spies we sent have made us afraid. They said, ‘The people there are bigger and taller than we are. The cities are big. They have walls up to the sky. And we saw the Anakites there!’”
