About Numbers 14: The Israelites Rebel and are Condemned to Wander in the Wilderness
The Israelites rebel against God's command to enter the land of Canaan, and as a punishment, they will wander in the wilderness for forty years.
Commentary
In Numbers 14, the Israelites are in the wilderness and have just heard a report from the twelve spies that they sent out to scout the land of Canaan. Ten of the spies have returned with a negative report, saying that the land is too difficult to conquer. The people become discouraged and begin to grumble against Moses and Aaron, and even suggest that they should return to Egypt.
