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 left and went up to the mountains, and when they came to the Valley of Eshcol they explored it.

25 They took some of the fruit from that land and brought it down to us, saying, "It is a good land that the Lord our God is giving us."

26 But you refused to go. You would not obey the command of the Lord your God,

27 but grumbled in your tents, saying, "The Lord hates us. He brought us out of Egypt just to give us to the Amorites, who will destroy us.

28 Where can we go now? The spies we sent have made us afraid, because they said, 'The people there are stronger and taller than we are. The cities are big, with walls up to the sky. And we saw the Anakites there!'"
