Deuteronomy 1:26 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:26

Notwithstanding, ye would not go up
And possess it, as the Lord had bid them, and Moses encouraged them to do, as well as Joshua and Caleb, who were two of the spies sent into it:

but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God;
disregarded the word of the Lord, and disobeyed his command, and thereby bitterly provoked him, which rebellion against him, their King and God, might well do.

Deuteronomy 1:26 In-Context

24 They set out, climbing through the hills. They came to the Eshcol Valley and looked it over.

25 They took samples of the produce of the land and brought them back to us, saying, "It's a good land that God, our God, is giving us!"

26 But then you weren't willing to go up. You rebelled against God, your God's plain word.

27 You complained in your tents: "God hates us. He hauled us out of Egypt in order to dump us among the Amorites - a death sentence for sure!

28 How can we go up? We're trapped in a dead end. Our brothers took all the wind out of our sails, telling us, 'The people are bigger and stronger than we are; their cities are huge, their defenses massive - we even saw Anakite giants there!'"
