Israel's Refusal to Enter the Land

¹⁹ “Then we set out from Horeb and ^(A)went through all that great and terrifying wilderness that you saw, on the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us. And ^(B)we came to Kadesh-barnea.

² It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to ^(A)Kadesh-barnea.

¹⁵ who ^(A)led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, ^(B)with its fiery serpents and scorpions ^(C)and thirsty ground where there was no water, ^(D)who brought you water out of the flinty rock,

²⁶ And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at ^(A)Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

¹² and the people of Israel ^(A)set out by stages from the ^(B)wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the ^(C)wilderness of Paran.
