Bamidbar 32:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ And why discourage ye the lev Bnei Yisroel from going over into HaAretz which Hashem hath given them?

⁸ Thus did Avoteichem, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over HaAretz.

⁹ For when they went up unto the Eshcol Valley, and saw HaAretz, they discouraged the lev Bnei Yisroel, that they should not go into HaAretz which Hashem had given them.
