Deuteronomy 1:24 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:24

And they turned and went up into the mountain
As they were ordered and directed by Moses, ( Numbers 13:17 )

and came unto the valley of Eshcol;
so called from the cluster of grapes they cut down there, as they returned:

and searched it out;
the whole land, and so were capable of giving a particular account of it.

Deuteronomy 1:24 In-Context

22 But then you all came to me and said, "Let's send some men on ahead to scout out the land for us and bring back a report on the best route to take and the kinds of towns we can expect to find."

23 That seemed like a good idea to me, so I picked twelve men, one from each tribe.

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.
