And I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe. 44 And they turned, and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. 25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought// down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, // is a good land which the Lo R D our God doth give us. 26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God: 27 And ye murmured in your tents, qnd said, Because the Lois hated us, lie hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 28 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. 29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 30 The Lo R D your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; 31 And in the wilderness, where thou hail 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 tame into this place. 32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lor D your God, 33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a plice to pitch your tents in, in £rc by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a clouil by day. 34 «I And the Loa D heard the voice of O N O M Y firmer things. your words, and was wroth, and swaii saying, 35 Surely there shall not one of the! men of this evil generation fee that goo land, which I (ware to give unto you fathers, 36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh he (hall (be it, and to him will I give th, land that he hath trodden upon, and fc his children, because he hath wholl followed the Lord. 37 Also the Lord was angry with m for your fakes, faying, Thou also lhal not go in thither. 38 But Joshua the son of Nun, whicl standeth before thee, he (hall go in th i ther.
