Numbers 13:27,28

Numbers 13:27,28 … We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. After the Children of Israel crossed over the Red Sea and went through the wilderness, they came to the land that was promised to them by God. Moses selected twelve spies to go in and check out the land. They came back with wonderful stories. Two of the men had a single cluster of grapes carried on a pole between them! What a fruitful land it was! But the other ten spies were fearful as they told of giants who lived there. They said, “We looked like grasshoppers in their eyes.” They frightened the people so much that they began a rebellion to go back to Egypt! Imagine that! A land so wonderful, but people so fearful! What a dilemma! God had to get rid of these fearful folk. So God led the Children of Israel around in the wilderness for forty years until the losers died off. The only ones left from that original group were Joshua and Caleb, the two faithful spies. Now everyone was ready to go into the Promised Land. They were ready to obey God.
