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 Then all of you came to me. You said, "Let's send some men ahead of us. They can check out the land for us and bring back a report. They can suggest to us which way to go. They can tell us about the towns we'll come to."

23 That seemed like a good idea to me. So I chose 12 of you. I picked one man from each tribe.

24 They left and went up into the hill country. There they came to the Valley of Eshcol. They checked it out.

25 They got some of the fruit of that land. They brought it down to us and gave us their report. They said, "The LORD our God is giving us a good land."

26 But you wouldn't go up. You refused to obey the command of the LORD your God.
