05:001:022 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will
           send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and
           bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what
           cities we shall come.

05:001:023 And the saying pleased me well:  and I took twelve men of you,
           one of a tribe: 

05:001:024 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto
           the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

05:001:025 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and
           brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said,
           It is a good land which the lord our God doth give us.

05:001:026 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the
           commandment of the lord your God: 

05:001:027 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the lord
           hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt,
           to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

05:001:028 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our
           heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the
           cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have
           seen the sons of the Anakims there.

05:001:029 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

05:001:030 The lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for
           you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your
           eyes;

05:001:031 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the lord
           thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way
           that ye went, until ye came into this place.

05:001:032 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the lord your God,

05:001:033 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to
           pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way
           ye should go, and in a cloud by day.

05:001:034 And the lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and
           sware, saying,

05:001:035 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
           generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your
           fathers.

05:001:036 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him
           will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his
           children, because he hath wholly followed the lord.

05:001:037 Also the lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou
           also shalt not go in thither.

05:001:038 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he
           shall go in thither:  encourage him:  for he shall cause Israel
           to inherit it.
