Deuteronomy 1:25 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:25

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands
Besides the cluster of grapes, which was carried between two men on a staff; even pomegranates and figs, ( Numbers 13:23 ) ,

and brought it down unto us;
who lay encamped at the bottom of the mountain:

and brought us word again;
what sort of a land it was:

and said, it is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us;
that is, Caleb and Joshua, two of the spies, said this, as the Targum of Jonathan expresses it, and so Jarchi; yea, all of them agreed in this, and said at first that it was a land flowing with milk and honey, ( Numbers 13:27 ) .

23 This idea seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men, one from each tribe.

24 These set out and went up into the hills, going as far as the Cluster ravine. They walked all around that area.

25 They took some of the land's fruit and then came back down to us. They reported to us: "The land that the LORD our God is giving to us is wonderful!"

26 But you weren't willing to go up. You rejected the LORD your God's instruction.

27 You complained in your tents, saying things like, "The LORD hates us! That's why he brought us out of Egypt—to hand us over to the Amorites, to destroy us!
