Devarim 1:26-28

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁶ Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Hashem Eloheichem;

²⁷ And ye murmured in your oholim, and said, Because Hashem hated us, He hath brought us forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim, to deliver us into the hand of HaEmori, to destroy us.

²⁸ Where shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged levavenu (our hearts), saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to Shomayim; moreover we have seen the Bnei Anakim there.
